Unique project, 'Woman to woman'

Sisters assemble feminine hygiene kits to help other women around the worldA quest for a "fun, easy" service project for a semiannual Relief Society enrichment activity turned into an opportunity to do something far more rewarding for women in the Logan Utah East Stake.Debby Raymond, stake Relief Society president, and her first counselor, Jeri Anderson, walked into the LDS Church's Humanitarian Center in Logan expecting to be given a well-known service project, such as making school kits, tropical bandages for Hansen's disease (leprosy) patients, or hats. Instead, the directors requested the Mormon sisters help develop something with the potential to dramatically change the lives of many women around the world: a feminine hygiene kit.The humanitarian center was given the project in January 2009 by the project's originator, Christy Boyer, as a commission from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."In some parts of the world there is not access to appropriate supplies and many women cannot work or go to school during their menstrual cycle," she said in a letter sent with the assignment of the project.
