Cornrows

Next year when I go to Liberia, I hope to get my hair done in cornrows by one of the cosmetology students.  When I went in 2012, my hair was too short to be braided.  (Besides, I spent most of my time observing and participating in the tie and dye class.)  When I went in 2015, classes were not in session as commencement ceremonies were being held. 
 
Kathi, Michelle, and Ruth have all gotten cornrows while in Phebe.  Michelle sat outside to have her hair done.  I don’t know why.  Perhaps the lighting was better outside.  Perhaps it was too hot in the classroom.  I know that when I have my hair done, it will be in a new classroom in the new education building. 
 
As you know, we are helping to provide supplies for the classrooms.  The cosmetology instructor requested a variety of items for hair.  We’re very excited that because the new building will have electricity, she included flat irons and a hair dryer on her wish list.  She also requested human cosmetology manikins so the students can perfect their skills before trying them on a human being.  In addition, the instructor requested nail polish for manicures and pedicures. 
 
You can take part in this exciting venture by doing any or all of the following:
 

1. Make a purchase from our wish list.
2. Go to our Giving Page and make a donation restricted to supplying the new education classrooms.  
3. Share our wish list by social media, explaining what it is that we are trying to accomplish.

 
Thank you so much for your support!
