Umkomaas girl donates hair, spreads hope

Raeh Harding recently cut her long hair and donated her ponytail to the Rainbow Oncology Centre in Amanzimtoti.

Raeh Harding from the Umkomaas area has shown that even a simple act of kindness can make a meaningful difference.

The 10-year-old, who is also an avid surfer and talented dancer, recently cut her long hair and donated her ponytail to the Rainbow Oncology Centre in Amanzimtoti.

It will help provide a wig for someone who has lost their hair while undergoing cancer treatment.

“I want to encourage others to spread love and kindness to each other, and especially to those who are going through difficult times,” said Raeh.
