I'm pretty sure that you have all seen that ad.  The fact that the actual destination in Africa is not named, makes me think that it doesn't exist.  Not to mention, the idea that a girl in Africa will turn down a chance to go to school because of her PERIOD is ludicrous!  Of all the women I have met, there are none  would have missed the chance to go to school for free!  Let's be honest here.  Even if there were a place within that ENTIRE continent that didn't have any (God forbid) pads, don't you think the ladies there would be using some "centuries old" method that has less likely a chance of giving them Cervical Cancer?

I even went to their website.

Which is just as vague and insulting.  Chances are that the rest of you aren't African Women, but if I were you, I'd be pissed off at the fact that my intelligence isn't  being respected.  "Southern Africa" is a very big place that holds a lot more than South Africa (the country.)  The only thing I can think of, is that they are probably trying to corner the "sanitary" market over there.

You can write to them here.

Although, they've put up some crap about education there, and slipped in the word pad every once and a while, I'm going to tell them what I think.  I hope you guys do the same.
