Girl Guides Singapore, President
MESSAGE FROM MRS JOY BALAKRISNAN
PRESIDENT
GIRL GUIDES SINGAPORE
Dear Guiders, Guides and Brownies
1 As we celebrate another World Thinking Day, Let us take this opportunity to reflect on the meaning of Thinking Day. It is a time for us to think of our sister Guides around the world and to celebrate our international friendship links as well as to remind ourselves that we are part of a global network of 10 million members in 144 countries across the world. As fellow Girl Guides, we are united through our Promise and Law in this worldwide community.
2 There really is no other voluntary organization in the world that brings together girls and women from as many countries and backgrounds as the Girl Guides. Guiding transcends culture, religion, politics and age. We belong to a very unique worldwide community, united by the mission of enabling girls and young women to fulfill their fullest potential as responsible citizen ofs the world.
3 In Singapore, World Thinking Day Celebration is one of the highlights of every year. Our theme this year is very aptly "Discovering your potential - Every Guide a Leader". For almost 100 years now, the Girl Guides have been developing and empowering girls and young women. As we look to the future and the challenges we face, let us remember that Guiding is relevant today.
4 I would like to quote from a 1964 broadcast speech for World Thinking Day by Toh Puan Noor Aishah. "It is these valuable principles and rich knowledge that we have gained from Guiding that can help to give happiness in everyday life. It is open to anyone who is seeking this."
5 As we renew our Promise and give thanks today, let us commit ourselves to continue to develop and empower girls and young women to be the best that the can be and to be the leaders of the future, dedicated to building a better world for all.
6 I wish you a very Happy World Thinking Day and may you have another pleasurable year in Guiding!
Yours in Guiding
