Sister to Sister: Standing Together through the Storm
Girls who were impacted by the storm and those that helped
out had a chance to meet each other on Sunday at GSNC’s Sister to Sister:
Standing Together through the Storm. They had the opportunity to share stories,
trade Girl Scout SWAPS, create a Sister-to-Sister collage, and learn how to
help replenish eel grass in ocean areas. With help from Project Hope, girls
created a tree filled with their hopes for the future.
"It was amazing to hear the stories of so many girls impacted
by Superstorm Sandy at the Sister to Sister event. Girls were smiling as
they shared their stories with each other. You could see how happy they
were to be together and how supportive they are of each other. We all went
home knowing that those that were in need, as well as those so willing to help
out, really understand what it means to be a Sister to every Girl Scout." said Pat P., GSNC MVP Program Specialist.
Donna Ceravolo said, "It was my privilege to be part of
this event on Sunday. The thing that
rang true to me in the days immediately after the storm -- that our Girl Scouts
are so caring and generous -- was brought home again at this event where the
girls stood "sister to sister" to laugh, share stories and
swaps. We are all fortunate to be part
of the great sisterhood of Girl Scouts."
As our troops, communities and Long Island remember
Hurricane Sandy; we encourage you to honor the surge of support and connections
made with Girl Scouts near and far.
