One of the students Eileen teaches English to use to be a hairdresser but hasn’t done any hair cutting since she got pregnant and had her baby. Now the baby is a little boy she wants to get back into hairdressing so needs to practice. She asked if any of the orphanages that we go to would like free haircuts.
I was able to direct her to an inner city orphanage run by a couple. This orphanage has around 20 children with most of them under the age of 12.
The children were very happy. Uyen was able to cut six children’s haircuts with the promise of returning when the other children’s hair was in need of cutting.
Apparently the young boy wanted his hair shaved off. Must be a fashion thing!!
Smiles all round.
