Girl Guides of the Christ Church Student Center recently devoted their time to visiting the Kaloleni Street Children Centre to impart life skills and knowledge to the kids.

The Girl Guides taught the kids of CCF center various matters pertaining to HIV/AIDS. They also had time to rap together and exchange songs and games. Before closing girls and boys were divided into three groups and had talks on different issues.

The Girl Guides contributed exercise books and money to the centre which has 37 boys. They were visited by 26 Girl Guides under the leadership of Mrs. Patricia Mbuya.

The programs of Tanzania Girl Guides Association provide girls and young women with opportunities of self-training in the development of character, responsible citizenship and service in their own and world communities.

The association also strives to encourage friendship among girls and young women of all nations within countries and world-wide.
