Hi, I’m Meghana G from Troop 60640. My Silver Award Project was to spread awareness about Alzheimer's and other forms of Dementia. I did this by working with an organization called Grace Healthcare Services to create memory books for patients with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. I worked with many other Girl Scouts to create these memory books, and the subject matter of the books ranged from food, to clothes, to wild animals. The books were fun to make, and even though there were some issues with meeting due to the pandemic, I was able to successfully help others understand what Dementia is, and why it is so important to know about.
