We had the privilege of hearing from Karl "Willy" Winsness at our weekly meeting on September 23, 2015.
During his 17 years behind bars at the Utah State Prison for shooting and wounding a police officer, Karl "Willy" Winsness watched his two young daughters, Lisa and Jamie, struggle emotionally and financially with his incarceration.
"They hadn't done anything wrong – they were the victims of my bad choices," Winsness, 64, tells PEOPLE. "The children of inmates are the forgotten victims of crime, and it really bothered me. I wondered for a long time what I could do to help."

In summary, Days for Girls (DFG) makes feminine hygiene kits, through sewing and assembling service projects, for Young Women in Africa and other third world countries who do not have reasonable solutions for the proper disposal and distribution of feminine hygiene products. The name of the organization describes the purpose of the kits provided. It allows the girl to get their days back. When they have these products they can attend school full time and get their education. Without these products they stay home for a week each month, and as you can imagine, they are constantly behind in school.
