Spread the Message

I want to talk to you ladies about something that I think we tend to take it for granted. Yes it comes around once a month, usually, it causes cramping, bloating, mood swings, general feelings of ickiness. We pop a few pain relievers, use whatever method you use to stop the flow and then go about our day. However, I want to bring something to your attention about the method that you use to stop your flow. Some women in our world do not have the access to either a tampon or a pad. Some girls who are attending school unfortunately have to sit out that week simply because they can't afford a tampon and it is just easier to stay at home, it is less embarassing. Can you imagine if you had to stay at home for the entire week of your period, miss out on learning, just because you couldn't afford tampons or pads that week?

The tampon maker, o.b. is teaming up by starting a Facebook campaign to raise awareness and money for the organization called Huru International on behalf of these items that I think we tend to take for granted. Since 2008, Huru has campaigned for these women and aided them by putting together kits that include eight sanitary reusable pads, three pairs of underwear, detergant-grade soap to wash the reusable pads, re-sealable, waterproof bag to keep the pads in when not in use and information about HIV/AIDS prevention. These kits cost only $25 for each girl and their goal is to raise $25,000 

so 1000 Huru kits can be distributed. 

It is easy for you to help o.b. and Huru out. All you have to do is to share this campaign on Facebook, and then o.b. is give $1 to Huru to help them towards their goal. Want to help spread the message and provide girls in other countries something you take for granted? Then go to o.b.'s Facebook page and click on their Outreach tab. Go to their Facebook page to start and click on the share link on the lower left hand. You can share this important campaign on your Facebook wall, a friend's wall, as a message to any friend, as a group message. Once you click share, you will be asked to select the state you live in, check the mark saying you agree to their terms and conditions, then click the pink click to share tab and helps spread the word!

Will you do that for me, help spread the word? Thanks a ton! xoxo, Meg
