Good Sorts: Barber giving youths chance to learn the trade

This week's good sort is Jay Lesa, a barber in Rotorua who often shows up at community events to cut peoples hair for free.

However, a chance encounter with some kids gave him an idea of how he could help people get ahead from the comfort of his barber chair.

He's giving them a chance to learn how to cut hair because when he was younger, he never got one.

Watch the video above to see how Lesa is helping his young apprentices.
