Washing Hair

Joann washing the hair of children living in rural slums.

How often do you get to wash your hair?
What if you got lice or nits in your hair... how long would you have to wait for a hair wash treatment so your scalp would stop itching?
For these children, they are lucky if they get their hair washed once a month.


They loved their hair being washed and it was a simple and fun way we could help the children.

Team Reflections: "What stood out for me..."

Patricia: Had a wonderful time with the children, spent some quality time washing their hair!  I particularly enjoyed washing the girls' hair, after having 3 sisters and no brothers, 3 daughters and no sons, and now having 8 grandsons and no granddaughters, it was lovely to wash the girls' hair!!
