This week in the usual segment “The good news of the day” carried out Radioinforme 3, chain 3 told Maite’s story. This is an 11-year-old girl who since 2019 has been an ambassador for Trenzando Voluntades, a campaign started in the town of Alta Gracia that she carries out with the Vanesa Durán foundation so that people donate hair to make wigs for cancer patients.
The news had such an impact throughout the country that many listeners and users of chain 3 on all their platforms they consulted on how to donate and join the campaign.
Daiana Ojeda, General Secretary of the Vanesa Durán Foundation, spoke with chain 3 to explain what the project consists of. “This idea was born in 2002, under the vocation of its members to contribute with the community. In 2015, we were invited to participate in a project called Braiding Wills, in which people donate hair to make wigs.”

Ojeda explained that the hair they gather must be a minimum of 30 centimeters long and must not be bleached. “We get hair all year round. Once we collect 9 or 10 kilos, we ship the hair to Buenos Aires and from there to the United States. There we work with a factory that makes wigs exclusively for us”.
The bell covers the entire national territory and so far more than 600 wigs have been donated. in the accounts of Facebook e Instagram From the Vanesa Durán Foundation you can find all the details to participate in the donations.
