Did I hear on TV that The Hair that is dyed can not be used ?
They don’t use the short hair anyway, that’s why they were told they could dye it. The girls with long hair donated their locks which were not dyed.
Well done. Would be nice if the folks could donate that to govt school charitable events that have a good cause. some govt schools go n fund raise n cant get a 10th of that. Whats the secret.
Just read the article again n i see part of why it works…..Parental envolvement plays a big part. This was great for all to pull together for a great cause.
