The campaign promoted by the Social Welfare area of the Teguise City Council, in collaboration with the Association of Oncohematological Families of Lanzarote (AFOL), has achieved a total of 28 solidarity cuts for hair donation, which will be used for wigs for girls and boys with cancer.
Thanks to the hairdressers of the municipality that joined the initiative 'Teguise+Solidaria', organized on the occasion of the International Childhood Cancer Day, between February 15 and March 15, 28 hair donations were received, which will now be delivered by AFOL to the Rueber Hair Center, which will make the wigs to provide them to those children who need them.
Councilman Isidro Alonso, as head of the Social Welfare area of Teguise, has thanked "the work of the nine hairdressers in the municipality attached that made the solidarity cuts, as well as the 28 people who decided to donate their hair to make happier the children who suffer from the disease."
"With this simple gesture, they have contributed to their happiness and to make this disease more bearable for those who suffer from it and that soon will surely be an overcome bump", said Isidro Alonso, who accompanied by the president of Afol, Carmen Arrocha, presented a 'Baby Pelón' -solidarity doll that wears a scarf with drawings of princes and princesses, designed by a girl who is fighting cancer, called Eire-, as a detail and sample of the success that this solidarity campaign has had thanks to the collaborating companies.
