UWCSEA (East) Hair for Hope 2015

On 20th March, the United World College of South East (East campus) held their 4th annual Hair for Hope event.

Participants of this event shaved their hair for cancer awareness as well as to raise funds for the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) in Mumbai, India. Some of the participants also donated their hair for our cause.
