 Sanitary pad making continues.  According to Sister Marcellina, this project is very unique, and the teachers, the students, and the community are so impressed to have this project in their remote village school.  The photos show how involved everyone is in this project, even the Parish Pastor, himself learning to mix liquid soap so the girls can keep these pads clean by washing them with the soap they had just made. 

Students and teachers learning how to cut the materials for the sanitary pad project,  S Marcelina was impressed how eager and engaging the students and teachers were in learning how to make the pads. This just makes my heart so full to see how engaged the girls are in this project.
