We are often bombarded with bad news. We hear stories of hate, war, cruelty, crime and heartbreak, which can often bring us down. But despite the hurt in the world, there is a lot of good. Amongst us, there are a number of people who are kind and compassionate, and as we are about to see in the pictures below, people do care, they do give and above all, they love and share their kindness with people they have never met.
I hope that this post will inspire to do something good today, and no matter how small it may seem to you, to someone else, that act of kindness could make all the difference.
1. The Sunshine Foundation fulfilled the dream of a 16-year-old boy with paraplegia who just wanted to go fast. They gave him a new, fitted racing chair.

4. This person has thought of a way to keep people cool and hydrated in the heat.

6. This bakery in Turkey provides free bread for the needy.
7. In Thailand, riot police laid down their vests and shields as a sign of solidarity to protestors that they were ordered to block.
