A Syrian refugee is giving back to the country that welcomed him with open arms. Alex Assali, who left his home behind due to the crisis in his homeland found refuge in Germany. Now every weekend, on Saturday mornings, he makes hot food and gives it to the needy from a table outside the Berlin train station. Alex is part of a Syrian Christian project that helps the homeless.

A 9yr old fourth grader, Kamarian Fox from North Carolina, has been promised free haircuts for life by a local barber after they first met in August -on the condition that Little Kamarian gets good grades in school. And last week local barber, Mike Shelton stood by his words when the 9-year-old handed him his report card. He had received straight As. According to the HuffingtonPost, Mike is also encouraging others to do something to touch someone else's life.

I feel hope for the world! You chose to present some examples of the good things happening in the world instead of focusing on negatives. Thank you. Congratulations to the kind people you featured.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your inspirations.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Hendricks's quote 'when the power of love' is very similar to this, and it is one of my favorites.......and so true. That's nice what the local barber does for this young boy.
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful weekend.

Hi Blogoratti - what great ideas - the Syrian chap ... such good news and then the barber encouraging youngsters to get good grades ...
ReplyDeleteHowever, how true that quote of Gandhi's is ...
Wonderful .. thanks - Hilary
Great quote! Very encouraging post. Hope more will join in to do their part to touch lives.
ReplyDeleteWe are still all (sadly) waiting for that day that Gandhi envisioned.

ReplyDeleteA very interesting and important post. Perhaps some of the Republican morons running for president in this country should see that "terrible" Syrian feeding the homeless in Germany, his adopted land.
ReplyDeleteI love to see good people in action. Our world just seems filled with news about people doing bad things. Sort of gets me disgusted with humanity. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLuv the good news of the first story
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend
Much love...
