As part of the initiative, haircutting stations are being set up at three different locations on the island. There is space in each neighbourhood to cut the hair of more than one hundred children.

After Montaña, the barbers will be at the Scouting clubhouse in Santa Maria near the cemetery today. Tuesday. On Wednesday, the project will be held at the Tera Kòrá community centre.

The clients of SDKK, as the government and the prison prefer to call detainees, perform the haircuts together with personnel from the Curaçao Fire Department and the Curaçao Police Force KPC.
