Ma’i Movement Project

After our Sunday Dharma Service on October 20, Prudence led us in packing Period Care Kits that will be donated to Ma'i Movement Hawai’i, a local non-profit organization committed to ending period poverty in Hawaii. The kits contain a month's worth of menstrual products and is distributed to anyone who requests them, free of charge.
