Students at Sutker AMIT Renanim Science and Technology High School for Girls in Ra’anana held a hair donation event this week for cancer patients. It took a long time for the students to grow their hair long enough for this important cause.
Two professional hairdressers volunteered for the donation event, at the end of which some 16 braids were donated and transferred to Ezer Mitzion, an organization that helps cancer patients.
Eliana Cohen, one of the students who donated her hair, shared: “I decided to donate because I think whoever gets my hair will appreciate it much more than I do. I’m sure it will make her day compared to her difficult struggle with the disease.”
Ofra Peer, principal of the school, said: “This is the second year that Sutker AMIT Renanim has held a hair donation event. I consider it a great privilege for our students to be part of a volunteer project that encourages involvement and caring, as these are values rooted within the school. A huge thank you to Ofra Ben Shahar, our school’s Bat Sherut. This is her second year leading such a big event for us. ”
