Girl Scouts: World Thinking Day questions

Hi,

World Thinking Day is an international Girl Scout event where girls in troops all across the globe take time to consider their connections to the girls in the rest of the world.

The last couple years High School and Middle School troops in the Whitnall School District organize an event for the girls in the area to participate in World Thinking Day and earn their WTD patch.  (One of the "special" badges that get to go on the front of the sash/vest....ooooh!)

I had mentioned it before, and suggested a 2/27 date, but only one family responded, so that slid off the schedule.  The alternate date is 3/20, 6-8PM.  Who could go then?  (I know some of you are signed up for the alternate Discovery World Sleepover, so understand that you won't be able to go.)

Here's this year's description:
"Travel around Africa learning about poverty. Play a game of soccer, learn how families get water in Kenya, make an instrument you might find in Togo and participate in making blankets that will be donated to the poor in Milwaukee.

There will also be a toothbrush and toothpaste drive where all items collected will donated in the Milwaukee area.

Girls should be dressed appropriately for games and crafts.  Fee includes 2015 Thinking Day Patch, craft and materials for the donation blankets."

Thanks so much--please let me know ASAP!
