Local Events & Volunteer Opps

Hello! I am writing to ask for your help. A good friend of mine, Trang, recently found out that her father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. This has put a huge emotional and financial strain on the family.

This friend, also happens to be really great with foreigner hair and her shop has reasonable prices. (She has been cutting and straightening my hair for nearly 7 years now. I have friends who travel from My Dinh to Ciputra just to have her do their hair and I recently met a woman who paid 4 times as much at other shops to have her highlights done and was disappointed every time. She says she’ll never go anywhere but Trang’s. Check out the reviews on New Hanoian: http://tnhvietnam.xemzi.com/en/spot/6219/trang-huynh-hair-and-beauty-hanoi – and if you have a good experience add your own review!)

In an effort to help out her family in this stressful time, I am recommending her business and asking people to try it out. She is running a special promotion for the summer. If you’re thinking of a haircut, some highlights, a pedicure, etc… to get ready for the summer, please give Trang’s shop a try.

Sincerely,
Kimberly

Her shop is just outside the Ciputra JAFA gate a few doors down from Donkey Bakery:
16 Nguyen Hoang Ton. Please call or text for an appointment: 090.418.0133

Hello,

I’m Alice from Poland. I’m 24 year old. I came to Hanoi 1 week ago. I got job here as an English language teacher. I’m looking for company of people who believe in God.

I’ve rented a room for 2 weeks in Tay Ho but from 1st April I would like to live a bit closer to Ha Ba Trung. Are there any people in the International Church who would like someone to share a house with them.

I thank you for your help in advance.
God bless you.

Alice
