Edward Gittens, 36, who lives on the streets of Georgetown, walked into a medical outreach with a dishevelled appearance, but came out looking transformed after taking advantage of the shower and hair cutting services offered. 

He was one of almost 200 homeless people who benefited from the services at the outreach, which included medical check ups, dental and eye care, HIV/AIDS testing, filling prescriptions at the mini pharmacy, a clothing drive and a free meal, as well as towels and soaps to take showers.
