Hello Owl & Toadstool viewers!
Did you know that there is a Fifth World Centre?
Yes, there is a fifth World Centre in Africa called Kusafiri.

| The Fifth World Centre in Africa |
"Kusafiri
World Centre is a project exploring how WAGGGS can bring a World Centre
experience using existing facilities in Africa. The ‘centre’ has no
fixed site but changes location at every event, creating international
experiences to girls and young women in different countries in Africa".
This fifth World Centre was established in 2010 and in October 2015 was officially named Kusafiri. Kusafiri means 'to journey' in Swahili. For more information on how Kusafiri World Centre came to be see the above link.

I will need to change the name of my song "The Four World Centres" to "The Five World Centres" to include Kusafiri. What rhymes with Kusafiri...hmmm...LOL...I will come up with something. I am not sure how to pronounce Kusafiri either...is it Ku-sa-furry or Ku-sa-feary??

The Five World Centres
{lyrics by Lee Ann Fraser 2016}
*Chorus*
Who knows ABOUT the Five World Centres?
Who knows ABOUT the Five World Centres?
Who Knows ABOUT the Five World Centres?
All -the -Girl -Guides dooooo.
(All the Girl Guides do-oo-oo is sung slower and "do" is a longer note.
I do not know anything about writing lyrics or composing music so bare with me)
*New last verse*
Af-ri-ca has Ku-sa-fi-ri,
Af-ri-ca has Ku-sa-fi-ri,
Af-ri-ca has Ku-safi-ri.
To-Jour-ney in Swa-hi-li.
(action for the new last verse is to alternately slap your hands on your thighs
left-right-left-right to the beat to symbolize African drumming}
If you are totally confused about the tune and actions of
my homemade song go to my original post
