West Lothian Scout Inspires Women and Girls in Namibia
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Kirsten McCormack from West Calder who has completed an 80-hour volunteering project, helping teach women and girls in Namibia how to make their own period products; understands that the project was so successful that the Chief Scout of Namibia is looking to roll the project out across Namibia; acknowledges that many girls miss school due to having no access to period products; commends the efforts of Kirsten, who is participating in her Scouts of the World Award, which is one of the top awards a young person can achieve, and wishes her well for the future.
