The story of the tooth fairy and a new hairdo!

By Catherine Bean | Development Officer

Little "P" waiting for her hairdo!
Little "P" waiting for her hairdo!

We have 52 children living at Hearts of Hope, and each one of the older children will, as most children do, lose their baby teeth and expect the tooth fairy to come. The tooth fairy gives R5 (27c!) per baby tooth.

Little "P" had saved up all her tooth fairy money and her pocket money to go to the hair salon for her 8th birthday and to have a new hairdo. The hair appointment was her actual birthday surprise which she was thrilled about - because she would have needed a little more than the R15 that she had managed to save up! How beautiful does she look in the photos?

Thank-you to all the donors who have given towards our healthy teeth project - we are nearly there - just $200 to go and we will have covered the cost to take the 40 older children to the dentist.
