Deaf hairdresser opens free courses for disabled people
A deaf man in Hanoi has opened free courses to help disabled people after achieving a successful career.
When Thanh works, other students will stand next to him to learn via sign language.
Thanh was deaf since birth and graduated from Nhan Chinh School for the Deaf and Mute. He has learned many jobs like cooking and sewing but none suits him until he fell in love with hairdressing and wanted to help others learn a skill to feed themselves.
His salon has three employees, all of them are deaf. Thanh said he understood the challenges for disabled people when learning hairdressing so he wanted to create the best learning environment as possible for other deaf people.
Dinh Thi Thu Ha, a customer at the salon, said, "I was introduced to this salon by a friend. I was curious too after knowing that the salon belongs to a deaf man. I got a lot of compliments after getting my hair done there so I also recommended this salon to my family."
Thanh also participates in a lot of charity activities such as free haircuts for disadvantaged people.
