Children from Adivasi Pada enjoy their makeover session
For these 150 school children from Adivasi Pada, Monday was definitely one of those rare good hair days. Guess how? A group from Thane - Fandry - formed by youngsters, reached out to the locals of the area and spent the day giving fancy haircuts and makeovers to the kids along with 10 hair stylists from city-based salons - all for free. Their main aim was to educate the children about personal hygiene and how they could keep their surroundings clean.
Fandry, which mainly comprises Thane residents, have been working towards helping children of different villages across the state. Ulhas Karle, a senior member of the group, said, "The main aim of the group is to help needy people.
We visit different villages and help the locals. This time we thought of having a session on cleanliness with the schoolgoing kids of Kurunde village of Asangaon. That is when we came up with the idea of giving haircuts to the kids, and accordingly, some young hairstylists joined us in the endeavour."
