Our third and final health/hygiene lesson was only for the girls. (Men feel free to skip to the next section if you have sensitive ears!) J We had a special “Girl Talk” time where we educated them about their menstrual cycle. We talked about what is happening in your body, what to expect, what normal symptoms are, and how to take care of yourself during it, and even showed them how to use a pad. The girls were very receptive to the information and it was clear that many of the girls had never been told anything about their period. We were so thankful they were able to overcome their fears to ask questions or request a pad, which we provided at the end for those who wanted one. We were so thankful for how well it went!
On a funny note…after the lesson, one of the girls named Faith said in a defeated little voice, “Oh how I wish I were a boy, there are so many problems we are going to be having!”
