Shen cuts her hair to support two charities
LOCAL girl Shen Lally made the generous decision to cut her long hair for the Rapunzel Foundation, while raising money for the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation.
Christina herself paid a visit to St Patrick’s School recently, on the date of Shen’s 11th birthday, to accept the cheque.
Shen was joined by two of her sisters, Keisha and Sofi-Mei, for the handover. Christina was very grateful for the funds Shen and her friends and family raised.
Shen and all of her teachers were delighted to meet Christina who gave the schoolgirl her signed book a hoodie and tee shirt.
Christina held the cake while the girls sang happy birthday to her.
The Christina Noble Children’s Foundation is dedicated to serving vulnerable children in Vietnam and Mongolia, who are in need of medical care, nutritional rehabilitation, educational opportunities, vocational training and job placement.
The Rapunzel Foundation will use Shen’s hair to make a wig for someone suffering hair loss through cancer treatment.
