1. LADIES CIRCLE INDIA Special Events 2015-2016 Quarter 1 HAIR FOR HOPE

2. What is HAIR FOR HOPE Ladies Circle India as Special Event of the quarter is launching a campaign with an NGO called Hair for Hope which helps cancer patients by donating hair that would in turn be weaved into wigs. This initiative aims at encouraging the community at large to come together and unite in the fight against cancer by donating a part of their hair. Hair loss is often one of the most distressing side effects and lowers the self-esteem of sufferers, making them withdraw into a shell! But a wig with natural hair is very expensive. So instead of throwing away hair one could donate that hair and actually bring a smile to a chemo patient. We invite you save hair and donate a smile.
