The compassion of stangers.


Today I went to get a haircut from my barber, Maria, who owns her own business. She immigrated from Mexico some years ago and many of her customers are Latino. Her shop is typically open Monday through Saturday.

For two Sundays, March 27 and April 3, she will be open for business. Haircuts will be $10.00 and the whole $10.00 will be donated to Red Cross for Japan relief. The fliers announcing this plan are printed in Spanish which makes me think that she's really targeting the Latino community with this effort.
