    Excellent. Wish I knoeq about this. Reusable are the way forward, not disposables. They contain too much plastic which takes 500 years to biodegrade! I teach students how to sew their own pads using upcyled clothes & towels @We-Stap 🖤❤🇬🇭

 We woke up at dawn when we were kids, we played the hide and seek game, the truth or dare game, the squirrel and bear game. At dawn, we promised not to leave one another. Miss. Diana Mariam Nasigri But at morning, when everything becomes clear, the love crack,  the love was as a drug thrown unto the sea which cannot be seen  again as it melted in the sea water.

Is it going to change to the better? Or is it going to become worse. Guess night will tell. Written by Diana Mariam Nasigri (McRhelta )
