ISIS. Syria. Dallas. Brexit. Trump. There seems to be so much bad stuff going on in the world right now that it's easy to forget that awesome things also happen every day on this planet of ours. Which is why we've decided to bring you this inspirational list of amazing kids who are each making the world a better place in their own special way.
Compiled by Bored Panda, the pictures below serve to remind us that no matter what's going on around us, there's always some kid rescuing ducklings from a drainpipe or saving up his pocket money to buy peanut butter for shelter dogs. With kids like these, the future's looking bright.

I saw a story of a little blonde boy with very long hair, who put up with people teasing him and calling him a girl, all the while he was growing it that long so he could donate it. AMAZING kid!

This kiddo is going places. He doesn't let challenges stand in his way.

This is amazing. It is so sad to know here in Germany the kids all go to school and they hate it, because the schooling system is not kidsworthy. And other kids would do anything to have the occasion to go to school and learn. This stores the faith and trust in the skills of kids. They know what's good for them and they WANT to learn, IF you let them do it in their own way and let them choose what and when.
Amanda Lawrence 8 years ago
How does this restore faith in humanity? Why didnt they invite him inside and give him at least some water and french fries. Nobody could afford to buy this child some $1 french fries? Its a child!

Unfortunately, this is so common in the Philippines while I was growing up. It's so common to the point that people ignore it. I get what you're saying, but unfortunately the culture and mindset is very different from non third world countries. :'( Hopefully, this will change.

There're so many contraceptive options, why would anybody bring a child to this world if they can't provide for the basic needs? smh Poor thing.

Can't local authority help him? if he's going to school, he must be registered somewhere, and the school must know he has no home (or where they'll send documents?).
Isabel Rosenkreuz 8 years ago
Unfortunately, many kids who study in public school are very very poor people. He does have a home with a loving mother, but not like the one you and I have. I've lived in Philippines for half my life. Sadly, it is very different in third world countries. :'(

Good job Jake!! I believe you will make the other kids happy! And that is great! Hospital can be a really sad and boring place. I think you can possibly make their treatment faster. Because happiness is important in treatment :-)
