The salon owner visits children who sleep on trenches and by the roadside to give them a makeover and that always puts a smile on the little ones’ faces.

The children fondly refer to Birari as uncle and describe him as a good and kind man.

“It has been more than two months of lockdown and all salons are closed. Poor kids who reside by the road have nowhere to go when they want to get their hair cut, so I chose to do it for free,” he said.

The kids said no one cared to groom them before Birari offered a helping hand.

“Uncle Birari is a very good man. No barber dared to visit us here ever since lockdown was imposed. But Birari comes here and gives us free haircuts,” one of the kids said after getting a haircut.
