O.B.'s Share It Forward Incentive - Only takes a moment!

I saw this on Melissa's blog the other day (The Mommyhood Chronicles) and thought it was worth the moment it took to do and then share it on.

Apparently a lot of girls in 3rd World Countires are dropping out of school when they come of age and get their periods due to embarrassment because they just can't afford things like pads or tampons to take care of it. When they drop of school and abandon their education they increase their risk of living in poverty and getting diseases such as HIV.

That just seems like such a sad reason to drop out of school, but fortunately there is a VERY SIMPLE WAY WE CAN HELP!

With their Share It Forward campaign, O.B. is hoping to raise $25,000 for Huru International which provides Huru kits to at-risk girls at no cost. Each Huru kit comes packaged in a drawstring bag that doubles as a backpack and includes eight reusable sanitary pads, three pairs of underwear, detergent soap to wash the pads, a waterproof bag to store the pads, educational insert on proper usage, as well as important life-saving HIV/AIDS information.

The o.b. brand hopes to raise $25,000 for Huru International which will translate to 1,000 Huru kits (or 8,000 reusable pads) valued at $25 each. For every user who shares this important message about Huru's important mission, o.b. will donate $1 to Huru's important cause.

So, what do you do? Simply visit and like the facebook page: mighty. small. movement (see instructions below). To do this will take exactly one minute of your time and will cost you nothing but the knowledge that you are helping out for such a great cause.
