SIGNING THE PROMISE FOR THINKING DAY

Girlguiding Anglia's Special Needs Team has set a challenge for every member in the Region

The challenge is for every member of Anglia Region - from Rainbows to Trefoil Guild - to renew their promise in sign language at their Thinking Day ceremony/meeting/event.

Such an inclusive activity will help to launch the national Disability Challenge in Anglia with a real bang. The Challenge is due to run from the middle of March for most of 2004.

The county Special Needs Advisers came up with this idea at the Team Conference in November 2003 and it is hoped that the county PR Advisers will be able to generate some positive publicity for guiding in their local areas with it.

"HELP" - we hear you say . . . how do we learn it? . . . there is an animated version of the Guide Promise in British Sign Language on http://www.guidinguk.freeservers.com/BSL-promise_anim.html
It not only tells you what to do, it shows you as well. If you don't have internet access, someone in your district should be able to help.

For further information contact your SN Adviser and/or your PR Adviser
