DIY Friday: Make a Difference - Girl's Only Project

A friend from a ministry group I help lead sent an email asking for help for her friend who writes at The Farmer's Wife Tells All. So here's your DIY Friday, complete with a tutorial from The Farmer's Wife Tells All: The Girls Only Project. Read about it and I challenge you to make a difference TODAY!

"I'm calling in all my favors right now. If you can type, repost a link, sew, or donate a small amount, I need you!When a young girl starts blossoming into womanhood, it's a scary, awkward, exciting, embarrasing time.
Remembering those years, I can't fathom going through them as an orphan.


I have been praying about what to bring with us to donate to the orphanages in Uganda on our trip in the next couple of months. I spoke with an American friend of mine who is living there and working with an orphanage. I asked what the greatest need was at this orphanage. Her answer shocked me, but made perfect sense.
Panties
Bras
Ibuprofen
Maxi pads


25 young ladies in this orphanage are in need of these basic things every girl should have. I've heard stories of girls missing school, using scraps of cloth or even trash while on their periods.


No girl should have to do such things.
