These are students from Mokeri higher secondary School at Koothuparamba in northern Kerala. This picture was taken during the concluding session of a 3-day camp of National Service Scheme (NSS). They had got together to felicitate seven heroines amongst them.

What did the heroines do?

They sacrificed the tresses of their long hair and donated them to make wigs for patients who lost their hair from chemotherapy in Malabar Cancer Centre. Wigs are so expensive; those women could never have afforded to buy them to make themselves presentable.

These heroines restore our faith in humanity.
