CUT OUT WORLD HUNGER is an event to raise money for charity. It will
take place at the Kitchener Farmer's Market (Upper Level) from noon to
7 pm Sunday August 16.
The basic idea is that a number of hairdressers from all over Ontario
will be donating that time to give FREE haircuts. They will however be
asking for a DONATION that will go directly to OXFAM and the GLOBAL
COMMUNITY CENTRE.
There's more to this event than just haircutting, though! There will be
clowns, face painting for the children, and continuous live music all
day by local bands! This event was a great success last year. Here are
selected quotes from this year's press release:
------------------------------------------------
.. Thanks to the generosity of many, and the hard work and compassion
of others, we raised nearly $11,000.00 for African aid. The total was
high because CIDA, (Canadian International Development Agency) matched
us three dollars for every dollar raised.
... This year, ... , about thirty area hairstylists from salons such as
Stylers in Guelph, Capri in Waterloo, The Haircutting Place and Manor
House Hairstyling will be cutting hair from noon to 7 pm...
... All they are asking in return for their services is a donation
that will go to OXFAM-Canada; an international development
organization, working in partnership with people who are struggling
against the bonds of poverty and oppression, and THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY
CENTRE; a local non-profit and educational resource centre whose
mandate is to raise public awareness of, and foster action on
international development and social justice issues.
... To add to the enjoyment, we have musical entertainment performing
throughout the day... Some of the bands are MEASURE FOR MEASURE; a
local band featuring vocalist Mary Anne Epp; TERRY ODETTE AND HIS BAND;
presently working on his second album; MILE ZERO, a band combining the
fusion sound of UZEB and Level 42 (joe's note: this is MY band! That's my
role in this event...), NINE AT THE HELM, a Kitchener band popular with
the fans of new music doing a set of almost all original tunes, and
much more!
