Piojos

Thank heaven I’m still "waiting" for my turn to come, but unfortunately a lice infestation has taken over NPH. What started out as a few kids here and there has turned into a widespread epidemic, with most of the sections COMPLETELY overrun with the little buggers. I know what you’re thinking. Gross. And you should. But you should also know that lice isn’t completely uncommon here. With between 10-30 kids living in each section, piojos are INCREDIBLY common…and no one really seems to bat an eye at them. Regardless, Michael and Tia Rosa took to the streets last week (aka the classrooms and sections), armed with their handy dandy “hair goop” as I like to call it – aka a truly disgusting smelling gel-type medicine that they proceeded to slather onto every child at NPH’s head. While a lot of the volunteers were quite happy to have a full on attack against los piojos, a lot of the kids were less than pleased…although to be honest, I think the “goop” has more of a lasting hold for those sweet hair-dos they rock than any other product on the market – so STYLE AWAY!
