Things are looking up a little. Rays of Hope said they’d pay our membership if we would just provide them with an invoice and banking details. This is an answer to prayer and reinforces that I am doing what the Lord wants me to.
This term we have been working on the Folk dancer badge. It is very easy. The girls have to take part in 4 traditional folk or ethnic dances. They must be able to dance in any position in the set and the words and tune must be an integral part of the performance.
To make it more interesting I asked whether they would like to make some costumes. they wouldn’t be the real thing, of course but it would enable them to learn to use a sewing machine which is part of the Explorer’s challenge.
Well, I was too ambitious. It is true that they all now have little mini skirts but only three of them can actually use a machine. I got donated two sewing machines from school. One is hand operated and after the Guides used them it doesn’t work anymore. I ended up sewing the last bits myself.
I was not that happy with the fringed overskirt so we tried again last Friday using plastic bags and straws. The practice went reasonably.
