Guiding is fun
On Wednesday, 11th September 2024, the Trefoil Guild Nigeria, Plateau State Chapter, in collaboration with the Girl Guides, inaugurated a new Girl Guide company at the Simji Girl-Child Empowerment Initiative & Orphanage (SGEIO) and its surrounding community. The children of the orphanage were visibly excited to become part of the Girl Guiding movement, embracing the opportunity to grow and learn through the program.
The founder of SGEIO, Mrs. Simi, joined the Trefoil Guild Nigeria, Plateau State Chapter, during the event. In her remarks, Mrs. Simi revealed that the late Mummy Group Ojo, a former Girl Guide commissioner in Plateau State, had been a secret volunteer at the orphanage for many years before her passing. Her contribution to the orphanage was honored during the inauguration.
As part of her commitment to the Girl Guides movement, Mrs. Simi promised to add images of the Girl Guide to the orphanage's signboard to raise awareness about the newly inaugurated company. This gesture will help inform the community and encourage more girls to join the Girl Guides.
The event successfully marked the inauguration of the Brownies, Guides, and Trefoil Guild members, reflecting the continued dedication to empowering girls through the Girl Guides' core values of leadership, service, and community.
