2020 SESSION
WHEREAS, in 2019, Girl Scout Troop 56002 of Fairfax County completed a service project to support women in developing countries by assembling sustainable menstruation supply kits; and
WHEREAS, Girl Scout Troop 56002 partnered with Days for Girls, a nonprofit organization that donates handmade kits to girls and women in countries where lack of access to menstrual products may cause them to miss days of school each month, limiting their education; and
WHEREAS, Girl Scout Troop 56002 learned about Days for Girls through Trisha Nittala, who had previously volunteered for the organization; a total of 40 Girl Scouts and 14 adult leaders participated in the event; and
WHEREAS, as part of the project, which took place in an event space donated by ServiceSource, Girl Scout Troop 56002 helped assemble kits with comfortable, reusable, high-quality menstrual products in hand-sewn storage bags; the kits included cleaning supplies, instructions, and crucial health education materials; and
WHEREAS, the members of Girl Scout Troop 56002 are exemplars of the character and ideals of the Girl Scouts of the USA, and their generous service will help women around the world participate more fully in their communities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly hereby commend Girl Scout Troop 56002 for its efforts to support and empower women in developing countries; and, be it
RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Girl Scout Troop 56002 as an expression of the General Assembly’s admiration for the troop’s hard work, generosity, and servant leadership.
