Pad Project: The Giving Circle teamed up with another local group, The Women’s Global Giving Circle, to sew re-usable menstrual pads for female students in Uganda to help them remain in school.  Our own Denise Stasik told everyone about the project and instructed us on how to cut the patterns and sew the pads.

29 women and girls. Ages 8 to 83. 3 hours. 40 re-useable pads finished and dozens more cut and ready to sew. Another group in Colorado (organized by one of our sisters) also sewed pads.
