L I G H T E R S I DE PAXTON DELIVERS SMILES AROUND THE WORLD STARTING IN IRAQ P axton International Washington DC set out on a mission at the beginning of 2019: to deliver as many smiles as possible in the form of cookies! Each year, Paxton sponsors local Girl Scout troops in its community by placing a large cookie order to help them reach their troop goals. As a mother, it brings me a lot of joy to watch my daughter and these young women learn skills that help them to be more confident in themselves and succeed in the future, said Victoria Ayala, Troop Cookie Manager. Paxtons Mindy Cafiero, Senior Director of International Household Goods, says: Paxton is happy to support troops this year as they We proudly stand behind the Girl Scouts mission to produce girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world better gain confidence through public speaking, help families and shelter animals in need, and plan a camping trip to explore the outdoors and learn useful skills. We proudly stand behind the Girl Scouts mission to produce girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. This year, Paxton has taken its campaign overseas to deliver even more smiles to expats living in difficult and remote areas like Iraq and Afghanistan. The company says it is happy to support and spread the message of empowerment to young girls both at home and abroad, and expats in Iraq and Afghanistan were happy to enjoy a little piece of home. The argument over which is better thin mints or samoas will always be up for debate, but one thing is certain: all communities can come together over cookies. l To hear more about Paxtons adventures in the US and abroad, visit its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ThePaxtonCompanies Paxton International Washington DC is on a missionto deliver cookies around the world A.UNIVERS TRANSIT ltd. 94 FF291JunJul19 pp94-96 Lighter Side.indd 94 WWW.
