Here it is finally

Here it is finally!

Canada's new Twinning country is Dominica (pronounced Dome - in - ee - ca).

Dominica is an English speaking country. This mountainous Caribbean Island is very beautiful but the people live in extreme poverty. They are currently an associate member of WAGGGS but it is their dream to become a full member of WAGGGS at the next world Conference.

Many countries were considered for Twinning but they did not have the members in place to support their various projects. At this time the actual Twinning project details are somewhat sketchy but we do know they have a threefold plan.

To hire a field officer to increase membership and help with the necessary leg work.
They need help with training their adult members.
Program where each Province might be asked to support (both financially and emotionally) a patrol or unit. This could involve things like financial support, pen pals, letter writing and much more.

Please feel free to start raising money for this project immediately. More info will come later as to the specific projects. We will be trying to create an information package on the country that would help units to learn more about Dominica. Please spread the word about this new Twinning Country.
