Dear Prospective Volunteers!
Are you interested in becoming a part of the Suitcase Clinic, but are unable to take Health and Medical Sciences 98/198 during either the fall or spring semester? Consider attending our two day Summer Training Session, which will be held on June 13th and June 20th from 10:00 AM-4:00 PM in 160 Dwinelle Hall. You must attend both days. This will be hosted in order to train new volunteers to staff our three drop-in centers in the city of Berkeley. You will be fully qualified to volunteer upon the completion of the training session, with experience commensurate to that which would be gained through HMS 98/198. You will be expected to volunteer as a caseworker at our three drop-in centers within the city of Berkeley at least four times upon the successful completion of this training regiment. There will also be a class fee of $30. You can bring cash or make checks payable to “Suitcase Clinic”. Please have your money on the first day.
If you are interested in volunteering please RSVP by sending an email to suitcaseclass@gmail.com with your last name, first name with subject title RSVP SUMMER TRAINING.
If you can’t make both training days there should be another training session during the 2nd and 3rd week of July.
Keep updated by reviewing our website, www.suitcaseclinic.org or if you have more questions email Edward at edwardhsu221@gmail.com.
What is hair?
Alone it is an awkward follicle
In cracks it works as a lubricant
And when it grows and grows it is a hairy bush.
Hair can move with a gentle breeze
Hair can be shaped like the Himalayas of the earth
Hair can look like the waves of a lady ocean
Hair is alive!
Sometimes it is soft and curly.
Sometimes it is coarse and crunchy.
Other times it is greasy and wet.
Bust worst of all, sometimes hair can be
filled with a few little friends.
Oh hair, however disgusting and
annoying you can be.
No matter where you go, into
my mouth, my food, or on my
carpet,
I promise to caress thee with my
special clippers and comb.
Oh Hair I love ya!
