This past AHG year our troop learned more about Days for Girls and also spent some time and resources helping this organization. Girls...it is hard to imagine what life is like without all the necessities that we have at our fingertips here in the US...but just imagine this...when you know that you need to take a bath or shower, the soap and washcloth just isn't available. Clean water is not always there either but you are thankful for the water that you do have, even if it is muddy looking.
How can you help this organization...and girls that are just like you? Read below for more info AND find out what our AHG Troop will be doing in September:
SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE AT AHG MEETINGS!
We know that many of you like to crochet, knit...and that there are LOTS of back to school sales and clearance items going on with washcloths now and very soon. During our September AHG meetings we will be collecting washcloths. You either make them or buy them (Target and Walmart have cheap ones for all those going to college!). We will have a box on the stage where you can put them in...just look for the box.
HOW ELSE CAN YOU HELP? Check out this info from Days for Girls...
What's in a kit? Hope. A future. Education. Comfort. Peace of mind. Oh, and washable pads, underwear, soap, a washcloth and Ziploc bags.
I challenge you (no ice bucket required) to make a donation to Days for GirlsTODAY to help put them in first place to win an additional $50,000 to reach every girl and woman in the world with ready feasible access to quality sustainable hygiene & health education by 2022.
