Bidding Audieu

17 schools and 773 students seemed to be quite a satisfactory conclusion to our long haul.  While working on our community project we not only managed to convey the necessary information but also gained trust. The girls who even a few days back thought that talking about periods was a blasphemy were now approaching us with their doubts and problems whenever we visited their schools. “Menstrupedia Comic “ published by Menstrupedia, a book which is a “friendly guide to healthy periods” was gifted to each school at the end of the session. I would like to take up this opportunity to thank the entire team of “Period Project” for being kind enough to help  us obtain these books.

We were overwhelmed with happiness when the kids started asking for more amounts of books so that all of them could get access to it simultaneously, in our later visits. Although, in order to make our effort sustainable our junior batch decided to carry it forward. However, this time the Self Help Groups constituted by women is lending out a strong hand to penetrate the villages with our home made pads. This again is a major turn of events because women seemed to be more rigid, but the fellows blandished them into the job.  A subtle ray of hope made us believe that the seeds of change which we have sown will continue to grow even after the completion of our project.

Last but not the least, we the “Mahvari se Yaari” team is highly obliged to everyone who helped us with our project.
