About Us & Project HOPE

PROJECT HOPE - HEAD LICE OUTREACH PREVENTION & EDUCATION

How It All Started With Pam's Daughter Lola in 2017

When Lola was a junior at Huntington Beach High School, she went by herself to a refugee area in San Jose Costa Rica. Using her high school Spanish, she taught a group of volunteers how to become experts, how to check and treat lice. We continue her project, including things like 15 minute tutorials in Spanish and Vietnamese at SchoolOfLilce.com. This enables volunteers at group homes, orphanages, and clinics to learn how to confidently treat kids and teens. We continue this as a self -funded (not a non-profit) labor of love. Our next trip will be to an orphanage called Casa de Hogar in Jalisco, Mexico. We are VERY excited about that!

Lola's Girl scout gold award (3 min. video)

In 2017, Pam's daughter Lola  set up a  program to teach volunteers at a Nicaraguan refugee area in Costa Rica how to become experts and treat lice. as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award (Equivalent to Eagle Scout). Here is her short video. This started Project HOPE - a self-funded passion project for Pam & Lola/Picky Pam at the Beach. Thanks for watching!

Pam & Lola Treat At An Orphanage in Thailand

In April 2019, lice experts Pam and her Daughter (Lola) spent a couple days at Nikki's Place, an orphanage in Chaing Mai, Thailand. We checked 60 girls, and treated 40 for lice. We taught volunteers how to treat lice. We had an AMAZING adventure. Hope you enjoy our 2.5 minute video. We can't wait to go back! We even got to hang with ELEPHANTS!

NikkisPlace.Org We Checked 60 Girls...Treated 40!

Lice experts Lola and Pam spent a few hot days getting to know some very VERY sweet girls at Nikki's Place, an orphanage in Chaing Mai, Thailand. These beautiful children were surrounded by music, and education, and fun, and friendship, and...LOVE!

We had a steady stream of beautiful angels through our 'salon'! It was a privilege and honor . What an AMAZING experience! We taught the staff how to treat lice, and created a tutorial (with Thai subtitles!) available at SchoolOfLice.com As you can imagine, we can't wait to go BACK! 

Project HOPE & Life On The Streets (L.O.T.S)

On Saturday May 14, 2022 Pam took a bunch of Coco Loco Nit Kits to donate to a community outreach program called "L.O.T.S" (Life On The Streets), sponsored by The Crossing Church in Costa Mesa, CA. The event provides free services such as haircuts, laundry, clothing, etc. and is open to everyone in the community. Pam's friend Brittany is a professional hair stylist and donates her time for much needed haircuts. It is a great program - we are happy to help!

Helping Homeless (LOTS - Life On The Streets)

October, 2020 - The Crossing, a wonderful church in Costa Mesa, CA has an outstanding program to help homeless. Lice experts Pam & Lola help checking, treating, and donating product to treat lice outbreaks. (Note: the loud music was from a boombox near us, we had no control over the volume, feel free to mute & read subtitles!)

Watch Our 1 Minute Sweet Project HOPE Video

Lice experts Lola & Pam checked 60 beautiful angels at Nikki's Place (Agape Home), over 2 days. We treated 40 for lice (that is A LOT!) Our goal it to treat lice naturally, and educate staff. Here is a one minute overview of how we did it quickly & efficiently. 

Recycle Used Nit Combs for Project Hope

As part of her Girl Scout Gold Award (equivalent to Eagle Scout), Lola committed to establishing a 'lice comb recycling program' for head lice experts to donate their used combs to treat lice. Through our Project HOPE, we will sanitize them and put them into 'treatment kits' for homeless programs, shelters, & orphanages. 

We LOVE Girl Scouts!

Pam was a Girl Scout Leader for Lola's troop from Kindergarten through Senior year at HBHS. We hope Lola Gold Award Project will inspire other young women to make a difference!  What Lola started in 2017, will continue on for YEARS to come. Girl Scouts call it "The Power of One". Lola hopes to create more volunteer lice experts and teach people world wide how to treat lice naturally.
