An excerpt from the post with a very touching poem:
“AM ON THE BALANCE BEAM – ME AS A GIRL”
Am on the balance beam, which side do I fall? I wish to be a person of integrity but sometimes my integrity is compromised. I wish to be a person of respect but sometimes my respect is stolen by circumstances. Please save this girl, to be able to know the good side of the balance beam. Every month I have to submit to nature and experience my monthly periods, sometimes I wish one was given choice, I would never choose to be a girl, because when I menstruate I have to be absent from school, I have to use unhygienic materials and even fall on the hands of hungry monsters, who ask for sex in exchange of pads.
I really love my life, but circumstances can’t allow me to prove this. My mother says she has no budget for pads and says I should know how to organize myself since I am mature. Please help me with the kind of organization my mother talks of or you should help me organize myself as nature takes its course.
Before I quit the stage, I have a request to make, please help me to know the side of the balance beam I should be on. Life is so harsh, please come to my rescue, it’s very dark, please shed some light and save me from dishonest sympathizers ready to tear my life. Allow me to be in school throughout to achieve good marks. Let’s all join hands and keep girls in school.
How can we help? Donate a Kit.. or buy pads from http://amysragbag.com/, she donates 10% sales from her non-discounted items to Huru International.
The Huru kit is US25. It can change a girl's life forever..
Here is another way of helping.. Donating pads to 150 ladies in Uganda by 1 June 2011, USD5 per pad, organised by another organisation:
