This is the true path of life, the one that leads to understanding and knowledge, to truth and beauty...
The girl with nature — with the truth of nature, and the truth of herself... Between nature and the girl there is an understanding... Both are sincere; in both there is innocence and goodness.
In a conversation between this magazine's correspondent and the president of the Girl Guides, Miss
Amina al-Nomani, the president said:
"This movement was founded four years ago at the Girls' College of the Makassed Charitable Association. Among our essential works," says the energetic president, "is assistance in all its forms... In the ordeal of Palestine we distributed clothing and food to the refugees in
Sidon and Tyre. We helped the Red Cross in distributing the daily meals. And in our program are scouting excursions to the various regions of Lebanon and Syria, to come to know our country at close hand.
"Our country is very beautiful, but we do not know it — and that is a national fault in us. The Guides hold official ceremonies at which the
scouting certificates are distributed, and these certificates cannot be obtained until [...]
... That was four years ago... a small idea, growing in an atmosphere of sincerity, love, and mutual understanding... and
behold, in but an hour of time, it is a splendid movement, carried on by the awakened Lebanese girl...
Sixty girls, from the oldest and most distinguished families of Beirut, laboring hard to foster the beautiful athletic life among the rising generation... a blessed life, all of it good, for body and soul.
With nature... purity and serenity
The leader, Amina al-Nomani
