Several years ago the Sew*Quilt*Share ministry
learned that girls in many third world countries miss a week of
school each month because they lack access to feminine hygiene products.
After learning about Mission Possible's outreach to girls in Haiti,
our group decided to get involved. We began by posting a pattern online,
shared details of our group sewing cloth feminine pads, and invited others to join us.
We continue to be amazed at the response to that invitation,
and rejoice at how God is stirring the hearts of those who sew!
