Joshua Coombes is a British youth who is dedicating his life to help the homeless. Hairdresser by profession, he is travelling around the world and offers to cut the hair for those living in the streets. He was in Madrid yesterday and his arrival generated great expectation and admiration for his altruism

In the street in the heart of Madrid, Joshua was cutting the hair of a well-known vagrant called Antonio, who was beaming as the public gathered to say how good he looked.

The youngster is visiting Madrid after being in Zamora where he gave a conference on the social networks to highlight his campaign #dosomethingfornothing which brings those in need into the public eye.

He told www.madridiario.es ‘I think there are many stereotypes over homeless people. The people think the reason is because of drugs or drink, but the reality is there are dozens of other hidden reasons’ manifested Joshua. ‘Everyone has a story to tell and we should listen to what they say’ he added.

‘I cut people hair not because they need a haircut, but to stop people in the street and to pay attention to people who are normally invisible’
Last night he flew back to his native London and there with a girlfriend who is a vet will be on the streets of London aiding the animals and the people in need of affection.

Joshua will be back in Spain at the end of June in Barcelona where he is sure his experience will have just a positive thankfulness.
