Harcourt-White appealed to good spirited individuals and organisations to assist schools that do not have restrooms by providing the facilities for them.She said: “Under Rotary area of focus, water and sanitation, it is important that most secondary schools should have restrooms, especially for the girls. There are a couple of schools that I have visited in the state that do not have restrooms.

“You know how difficult it is when a girl is menstruating and she has to go behind to change her pad or hid in the bush and all that. I am appealing to organisations to check out schools that do not have restrooms and assist them in building some so that girls will be comfortable when they are menstruating.”

Harcourt-White said: “The hygiene talk was to reemphasise the importance of personal hygiene and I am happy to say we partner with one of our interact clubs, the Interact Club of Holy Rosary College. It was just to remind the ladies, the girls on the importance of personal hygiene.
