When my moms cousin was here, we shot this film. It's an update on how the pad project is coming along. Even though there is some problems with the information on how to care for your pads, it is still a very positive update. I'm sure that the pads help the girls a lot and the alternative for them would be to put towels or pieces of cloth in their underwear, so it is still good. To teach them how to clean them properly is very important though. Some of them boil them, and that coagulates the blood. The way to do it is to first soak them in cold water and then wash them as they would their normal clothes. If they want to boil them, that might be OK as long as we use the metal snap buttons, but I'm not so sure the plastic ones would agree with that. I just have to plan on making some kind of informational leaflet to tell them how to do it, and just hope they will follow the instructions.
I'm quite impressed by Banish in Maries film. She has no problem at all to hang her pads to dry for the whole community to see. Take a look at the film on the link below.
