World Thinking Day for Girl Scouts

Anisa and her Girl Scout Troop set up a booth on Pakistan for World Thinking Day at Bryn Mawr College. Kate Boudreau was in town as well and spent the whole day out there. The bangles that Dadijan ad sent from Pakistan were a huge hit and the table was always crowded. We also had jalebis, mango lassi and snack mix. The girls wore pakistani clothes, some Linda's and some Anisa's. Linda dressed up in a gharara as well but had to come home early since she was not feeling very good.

Kate helping set up the booth on Saturday morning. She rowed for us in St. Louis and is very much a part of the family. Little did she know that when she was coming to visit, she would be drafted into girl scout activities.
Anisa and Annie dressed up in Pakistani clothes. Anisa and LInda brought out the full wardrobe so the girls scouts could wear the right clothes.
There was a big traffic jam for getting the free bangles. Anisa and Annie are handing them out at the start of the day.
Bangles being tried out. Some broke and the kids would be back asking for another one!
