THE DIARYGAME|| BETTERLIFE OF STEEM||GIRLS EDUCATION WEEK BY @mimi12 AT 03/06/2021.

Good morning everyone, trust you're all well. My name is Mariam Duffour, aged 28 and a mother of one. I'm a teacher at Nsuta, a town in the Ashanti Region of Ghana and a girl child coordinator in my school. It's always a great joy waking up and feeling healthy.
But my greatest joy everyday is having the pleasure of meeting my girls in school feeling good about themselves.

Girls Education week

Today I had a talk with my girls on menstural hygiene. One problem I have noticed about my female students is staining their white uniforms in class during menstruation. I do my best to wipe their uniforms clean with baby wipes and soap before sending them home. It's really embarrassing to experience that in class in the midst of boys.

During the talk, I wanted to find out why most of them get stained during their period. I was dumbfounded to hear that about 70% of my girls use rags and tissues instead of sanitary pads during their period just because they can't afford it.

Most of them felt ashamed to even talk about their period. To make them see that menstruation is not a curse nor a crime, I shared my experiences as a woman with them.

My girls are now cheerful after the education and receiving a sanitary pad each

To encourage them to use sanitary pads and use them well, I gave each girl a pad to experiment with it and promised to get NGO's to supply them with pads.

Now I'm hoping to get kindhearted people in my community to support us with sanitary pads so that my girl will feel cheerful even in their time of the month.
