On Sunday, September 6, the local barbershop Oozy D Barber in Sangre Grande hosted a back\u2011to\u2011school haircut drive that served more than 40 students. The event took place a day before schools reopened on Monday, September 7, and was designed to give students a fresh look for the new academic term. The initiative was announced earlier this week by TG News, which highlighted the community effort.<\/p>\n
The free cuts were part of a broader effort to ease the financial burden on families preparing for the new school year. Parents and students alike welcomed the opportunity to start the term with a clean appearance without spending money on haircuts.<\/p>\n
Oozy D Barber expressed his gratitude in a message to TG News, saying, “Had a good turnout of over 40 students.” He thanked the outlet for its coverage and noted that the event may not be the last of its kind.<\/p>\n
Photographs taken during the drive were shared selectively, with only a handful shown to protect the identities of the children. The barber emphasized that the limited images were chosen to maintain privacy while still celebrating the community spirit.<\/p>\n
The initiative reflects a growing trend of local businesses stepping in to support students during the back\u2011to\u2011school season. Oozy D Barber hinted at future events, suggesting that the drive could become an annual tradition. The free haircut program offers a small but meaningful boost to families and students alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
