Awesome Act of Kindness: Keep Aaron Cutting

Speaking of cleaning out bookmarks, this was bookmark #1 from August of 2011. It's an amazing story. After the London riots, many small businesses were left in ruins. One of them was Aaron's barbershop. Aaron had been cutting hair in the same location for decades and couldn't afford to fix his shop. So, a group of interns from BBH in London decided to tell his story to help raise the money he needed. All in all, they raised 35,000 pounds, which is over $55,000. Truly amazing. You can see the original video below and see the progress they've made in rebuilding Aaron's shop by visiting their blog here.
