Chapala Sunrise Rotarian and nurse Becca Pohl is chairing a project that combines two service areas of Rotary; maternal and child health with economic development.. 
She, along with Spanish speaking colleagues, teach young teen girls in schools about female development, health and menstrual cycles. She distributes reusable washable pads and products in bright colors and patterns. She teaches women in the villages how to sew the products, paying them for their work.
