Charitable Guides

Members of Gisborne's Girl Guide companies spent a recent Saturday morning doing charitable jobs around the city for their annual Service to God day.

Many of the girls spent the morning cleaning up church grounds, while one group of Puramoi Guides and Kaiti Brownies paid a visit to Dunblane Old People's Home to present its occupants with bouquets of flowers.
