At the Manna van site this past Saturday morning in downtown Parksville, an enthusiastic group of Hair Stylist students and Licenced Practical Nursing students from Vancouver Island University suddenly appeared. They set up shop on the spot, with a large covered stainless steel pot, keeping water hot over a propane stove.
This was all done to give free shampoos, haircuts and shaves to our friends on the street who are unable to afford this right now. They also came with some hot coffee and some fresh veggies and sandwiches for snacks. Through some fundraising that they had previously done, they also presented Manna with a cheque. What a wonderful group of people. It did all our hearts good to see them and all of their efforts were much appreciated by all!
