http://goldrussia2011.blogspot.com/2011/08/were-famous.html
Thursday, 11 August 2011. Jenni here, updating the blog probably for the last time on Project- as we are off tomorrow to start our journey home via train/plane! In Kazan we had a lot of interest from a guy called Vlad who spoke very good English- as to why we were in Russia. His hobby is journalism and so asked if he could interview us and possibley publish a story to a local English newspaper. Wanting to spread the GOLD word, we of course said yes! A group of six volunteers from Girlguiding. To pay a vi...

Gold Russia 2011: Back from Camp!
http://goldrussia2011.blogspot.com/2011/08/back-from-camp.html
Wednesday, 10 August 2011. We arrived back from camp yesterday after an epic 9 nights of camping. We had a blast! We loved meeting all the participants of the camp from Ufa District. Trainings were a success and we trained about 70 people in total. We trained for 4 and a half hours each day and took part in the camp programme including the evening entertainment! Both the camp food and the camp toilets were an experience and gave us lots of laughs. 11 August 2011 at 03:33. Enjoy every moment of it! Simple...

Saturday, 30 July 2011. It's Emily and Caz here from the outskirts of Ufa in Dema! As you can see from Clare and Jenni's posts we have been busy busy busy! The last few days we have been exploring the city of Ufa with our homestay family. We are staying with a Girl Scout named Aliya who is so sweet and only 14 years old and her mum Albina. They are so kind to us, they have made us so welcome it's been magical! Last night we headed out to the clubs in Ufa, unfortunately we were too skreffy to get in!

Gold Russia 2011: More watermelon?
http://goldrussia2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/more-watermelon.html
Friday, 29 July 2011. So, homestay you say? I think myself and Clare are staying with one of the nicest families ever! Our mum, Tatiana, is a Guide Leader and Doctor, and her daughter, Nastya, 16/17 is in our equivilent of Senior Section. They live in a beautiful appartment on the 9th floor. They also have a 'very fluffy cat'- called Markus! When we arrived we were fed yummy chicken and potatoes, salad and watermelon for dessert. Since we showed our enthusiasm for watermelon- it just hasn't stopped!

Thursday, 28 July 2011. Clare and Jenni here writing you this blog from our host family's lush appartment! We arrived in Ufa yesterday after a flight from Kazan. Let's pick up from where we left off. By the time we got to bed at 3:45, it was starting to get light, and even at that time of night, it was BOILING hot! In the afternoon it was decided we should skip training and instead see the beautiful sights of Kazan! We stopped at a cafe for traditional Tatar cuisine- Borsch, meat and potato pie, and Yak-...

Gold Russia 2011: Girls, come back now, please.
http://goldrussia2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/girls-come-back-now-please.html
Saturday, 30 July 2011. Girls, come back now, please. Jenni here again- making the most of internet in our homestay before we head off to camp on monday! Since the other members of the team don't have access to the blog as often as myself and Clare do I thought I'd briefly fill you in on our Ufa adventures. So following on since the last couple of posts we have had many a laughs here in Ufa city. This was Ufa's first press conference and it would seem that it was a success! The girls were so annoyed!

Sunday, 31 July 2011. Would you like a dirty bath? This is Clare saying bye for a week on behalf of the team - we're setting off for camp this evening, huzzah! Today, we had a lovely relaxing end to our home stay. All our host families (and assorted friends and relations) went on a 2-hour drive to a natural spring/spa resort somewhere probably south-west of Ufa (judging by the sun! We then had a quick splash in an even colder and very salty pool. Now we're briefly at home before setting off on camp with ...
