World Thinking Day 2009
6 October 2008
The World Thinking Day 2009 website has been launched. It contains all the information you will need to prepare activities for members on the theme: girls worldwide say “stop the spread of AIDS, malaria and other diseases”. The theme is linked to the new WAGGGS Global Action Theme “together we can change our world”, which is based on the eight United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The downloadable activities are divided into three sections:
- HIV and AIDS
- Malaria
- Other diseases (pneumonia, diarrhoea, tuberculosis and measles)
The website also contains fact sheets with information on these diseases and new fundraising ideas to help you raise money for WAGGGS on World Thinking Day.
We encourage all members of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting to start their World Thinking Day plans on World AIDS Day.
World Thinking Day, held each year on 22 February, offers Girl Guides and Girl Scouts the opportunity to think about their colleagues and peers around the world. What’s more, it encourages them to use their creativity and leadership to help raise the funds our Movement needs to continue its important work.

I think it is really nice that you help people with AIDs and other diseases. When I read that my heart is filled with love. I really like what you do because you will help people if they are sick. Again I really like what you do.
