'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.'

Today's guest on the AHC podcast is Selina Tomasich, the founder and CEO of Hair Aid. For those of you who don't know about Hair Aid, it is a not-for-profit organisation that teaches people living in poverty the skill of haircutting. Learning how to cut hair means these people can start up their own micro businesses, cutting hair in their own communities so they can earn money to support their families and and address those every day essentials that we privileged often take for granted - buying fresh food and water, educating their children, providing a roof over their heads.

It's a life-changing experience for these participants and also for the hairdressers involved.

From humble beginnings, Hair Aid now has seven international projects that happen each year in very impoverished communities around the world. Alongside these projects, it also has another initiative affecting lives of Australians called Hair Aid Community Cuts - HACS for short - working in 85 communities around Australia, providing free haircuts to people who cannot afford them.

So as you can gather, there is a lot going on at the Hair Aid camp, and it's a wonderful story, so settle in and listen up to the very inspiring Selina Tomasich, we are sure you'll want to jump on the bandwagon and be part of changing someone's life.
