Small World Journeys

Learn to make 'Moon Sick Bags' to distribute to women in need in the remote Aboriginal community of Ampilatwatja. Moon Sick Pads provide women with a healthier, more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to disposable sanitary products. This service project provides free reusable, washable menstrual pads to girls who miss school when menstruating and face other barriers during that time of the month! During this activity you master some basic sewing skills, gain an understanding of the complex cultural barriers that affect women in the poorest communities in the world, and learn about the environmental and social benefits of reusable sanitary products.
