Priyanka innocently shared her issue with Smiley Days team members and got satisfactory responses from the team members. Smiley Days team described to her how to track the periods' dates by using a date calendar.
Pooja (name changed), is a student in the 8th class. She said, "I get infections during periods and post periods days. I feel a lot of itching and red rashes near my private parts. I feel much more uncomfortable going outside and often skip school for at least 4 -5 days".
After attending the workshop, all the girls looked happy and they asked to conduct another workshop soon. All the girls and school teachers thanked the IDF team for conducting such a wonderful workshop.
Thank you for being so supportive!
