To the wig maker... but wait
These are just portion of the ponytails we received. Before we could bring them to the wig maker, they need to be sorted according to their length, texture and colour.

This has been a busy year for these volunteers. Other than busy appearing on television and social media. They had been supporting some event as well.
In April, they were involved in an event by Mediacorp Radio station Love 972 and Ocean Butterflies Singapore for VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer. They help whenever needed. So help them to help more.
Vote for them!

We are announcing the implementation of the following with immediate effect
Collection
Collections are now strictly on weekdays after 1800 hrs at designated MRT stations only. These stations are; Buona Vista, Bishan, Paya Lebar and Dhoby Ghaut.
While we tried our best to accommodate to some special cases, many does not appreciate and wanted more from us. We understand that everyone has their commitments, so do we.
Rules
For those who are interested to donate their hair to us, they are now required to email us the following;
1) Name
2) Mobile contact
3) Preferred station
4) Photo of your ponytail(s)
Donors are to contact us on the day of the appointment, else we will take it as you are not available.
If you are going to be late, call or contact us via SMS. If we did not hear from you 10 mins after the appointment time, we will leave.
These rules were implemented because we have been played out too many times.

Mass donation from Malaysia
Some 90 over students took part in this event where the boys shaved their head and the girls donated their locks. Evinn was one of the shavees herself.
More details on the event will be posted at a later date. I will also update with more photos of these ponytail so stay tuned.
Lastly, I would like to thank Evinn for coming all the way from Batu Pahat and delivered these ponytails, and sharing with us her work during our donor-volunteer meetup session today. Thanks Evinn.
