Days for Girls
with BC Staff
Friday Jan 30, 10-1pm
We are so blessed to be living here in the United States where many of the problems that girls and women face in the developing world are just not an issue. In over 59 countries girls miss up to two months of school a year because they don't have proper sanitary supplies to use during their monthly periods. Women in the work force face the same issues. Go to www.daysforgirls.org to read about the difference this organization has made in these counties.
The girl scouts of Troop 1226 have been making the shields and liners for the girls at Our Lady of Perpetual Help orphanage in Haiti. We want to get involved in this effort. We'll have jobs for any level of sewing skill. Drawstring bags hold the washable pads along with small bars of soap. For many girls these are the prettiest things they have ever owned.
If this touches your heart as it has ours, please join us
