The school community rallied behind Forest Village Leadership Academy's receptionist Hayley Daniels who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
CAPE TOWN - Every school is community, a network of relationships connecting pupils, educators, parents and guardians to create one big family. And Forest Village Leadership Academy in Blue Downs proved just that when the school community rallied behind the school receptionist Hayley Daniels who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
Daniels was alerted that something was amiss when her eight-month-old baby would not drink from her left breast. She was diagnosed shortly thereafter at the Tygerberg MAMA Breast Clinic. She can also count on her school family who on Friday last week came out in support of Daniels when the school arranged to have a "Shavathon" titled "For Hayley" to raise money for her rising medical bills.
The pupils had their hair sprayed by the teachers, but the school hall was moved to tears when, in an emotional scene, Daniels broke down when two of the schools teachers, the janitors and even some of the parents opted to have their hair cut by Daniels herself.
