Hope for Peace in Egypt

There have been rallies and riots in Egypt’s major cities, with several deaths and many injuries. From what I can deduce, there are thousands, or perhaps tens of thousands, of mostly young men demonstrating for the removal of Egypt’s president and the establishment of a new democracy. They are blaming all of their country’s economic problems on the president and his closely held elite group who have been running the country.

I truly hope that the riots subside and that the citizens of Egypt see good changes come about when this president either steps down or is defeated in the next election, and that no one else gets hurt in the process.

Donating Long Hair for Wigs

My sister has donated her long hair to an organization called Locks of Love. From what I could find online, this organization uses the donated hair to make wigs for children who have cancer and are losing their natural hair because of the chemo treatments that they must undergo.

There is also a program sponsored by the hair products company, Pantene, called Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Their program uses the donated hair to help women who are fighting cancer.

I think both organizations are worth checking out they have good web sites with information on how long the hair must be, where to send it, etc.
