Happy Friday afternoon! I hope you all have had a great day. I loved reading your “Never Have I Ever” comments. So fun. Now, it’s time for the weekend!
But before we sail into a weekend full of love and fun, I would like us each to pause for a moment to do some good. With just a simple click.
One of the greatest struggles I have is seeing so many needs in the world. Starving children. Human trafficking. Poverty. Lack of freedoms. Illness. Domestic violence. Addictions. Natural disaster relief. And the list goes on and on.
Often times, I hear about such things and want to do SOMETHING, yet feel debilitated. I wonder how I could possibly make any sort of real difference.
Then, with time, I realized that even the smallest acts can make a difference when people come together.
Which is why I’m here today.
Did you know that numerous girls and young women face their monthly periods with fear? That time of the month doesn’t simply mean cramps, bloating, and discomfort. It means having to stay home from school and missing out on an education. It means losing work to earn the $4 a day they need to even feed their families. It means an increased risk for disease and infection.
Every. Single. Month.
And all because these young women and girls don’t have sanitary pads and other related products readily available.
Huru International and o.b. brand have partnered together to create the Share It Forward campaign. This program is an app through Facebook to help raise money for Huru® International simply by sharing a message with your network of friends about Huru® International’s mission, and helping shed light on an issue that impacts many woman globally.
The o.b. brand hopes to raise $25,000 through this campaign to send over 1,000 kits to those in need in Kenya and sub-Saharan Africa regions. For every user that shares the message through the app with their network of friends, the o.b.® brand will donate $1 to Huru®.
That’s 8 THOUSAND re-usable sanitation pads for these women. 3,000 new pairs of underwear. Soap and bags to help keep the products clean and the women using them healthier. And information to help educate those in need of other issues such as HIV/AIDS. You know what I see when I read that? That little things add up to big changes. All you have to do is a couple of clicks to help contribute to these smiles…

- What’s something you want to not take for granted this weekend?
I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of o.b. I received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate, which I have personally chose to donate that value to Huru International. I chose to share this message because I believe in doing small things to help make a difference.
