via instagram Mohamed Bzeek is a devout Libyan-born Muslim who has spent the last 20 years giving hope and comfort to children no other person would care for ten of whom have died. ‘The key is, you have to love them like your own,’ Bzeek said. ‘I know they are sick. I know they are going to die. I do my best as a human being and leave the rest to God.’ But Bzeek might not have found this calling had it not been for his former wife, Dawn who started care for sick children. They kept the work up even when their son, Adam, was born in 1997 with brittle bone disease and dwarfism. Now, Bzeek is caring for a girl who was born with encephalocele, which left her mentally and physically underdeveloped with parts of her brain protruding from a hole in her skull that had to be surgically removed. ‘I know she can’t hear, can’t see, but I always talk to her,’ he said. I’m always holding her, playing with her, touching her. … She has feelings. She has a soul. She’s a human being.’

via instagram A Dutch nursing home has found a brilliant, mutually beneficial model: free housing for college students in exchange for companionship with elderly residents. At Humanitas in Deventer, students live rent-free-with one condition: spend at least 30 hours a month connecting with residents through conversation, shared meals, and simply showing up. This intergenerational living setup doesn’t just tackle loneliness-it boosts mental well-being, breaks down age-related stereotypes, and gives everyone involved a greater sense of purpose. I will always promote the importance of having a life full of loving relationships of all kinds; platonic relationships feed our souls too.

via instagram A 79-year-old man from Alberta, Canada, went to beauty school last week for a lesson on how to do his wife’s hair and makeup. His wife of 50 years has always “taken pride in” her appearance and “it’s important to her,” but due to failing eyesight it became increasingly difficult. The husband wanted to first learn how to do his wife’s hair as she kept burning herself with a curling wand because of her vision impairment. “He lovingly pulled pictures from his wallet, showing everyone his wife, and boasting about how beautiful she has always been and how talented she was with skill set of typing over 100 words a minute when she was working,” a teacher said. He said, “Her appearance has always been something she has taken pride in and it’s important to her so therefore important to me.”

via instagram When he was 10 years old, he arrived to Nashville to live with the Gill family. At first he was timid and didn’t want to talk, choosing to spend all his time in his room, looking at old pictures. Andrew has four siblings that were adopted straight away, leaving him all alone. The Gills were supposed to be Andrew’s foster parents until he found the right family for him. With gentle love and persistence, Andrew learned to regulate his emotions and started opening up to his new family. Andrew started coming out of his shell when their son invited him to play video games together. A counselor asked Andrew if he’d like to be adopted by them on a walk and he agreed. He didn’t expect to see balloons and placards and the big smiles of the Gills and family friends, nor did he expect to see their son wearing a shirt that said, “Will you be my brother?”. Overwhelmed, Andrew burst into tears and gratefully accepted his new family’s offer. “Thank you you for not giving up on me,” he said when the Gills asked.

via instagram During the summer season in Croatia, beach safety gets a unique upgrade-with the help of specially trained dog lifeguards. These incredible canines, often Newfoundlands, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors, are not just adorable beach companions. They undergo up to three years of intensive training to master water rescues, learning to recognize distress signals, swim through strong currents, and tow swimmers to safety. Some are even trained to leap from boats or helicopters during emergencies. Originally inspired by Italy’s program, Croatia’s initiative began in the late 1970s and has grown into a respected system that blends tradition and innovation. Working side by side with human lifeguards, these dogs don’t just save lives-they offer emotional comfort in high-stress situations. Their strength, loyalty, and gentle nature make them ideal guardians of the shore, ensuring that beachgoers are safe, supported, and smiling

via instagram “A local teen has turned his passion for pups into something extra special, a charity for dogs.
He even used his own money from dog walking and pet sitting to get it off the ground. Alex Flowers (@theirbestdayever) of Havertown, has loved animals his whole life, with a special love for dogs.
Some requests are basic, like a hike in Valley Forge National Historical Park, in King of Prussia with Aspen, an almost 9-year-old German Shepherd losing his sight.
Other best days have included a day at the beach in Jupiter, Florida, frolicking in the water, a hike in Bushkill Falls, in the Poconos, for Max who lost his owner, to Scout, who has arthritis and had unlimited use of a pool for the summer.”

via instagram “In 2013, Scotland launched a charming tourism campaign that captured hearts around the world by dressing two Shetland ponies, Fivla and Vitamin, in hand-knitted cardigans made from local wool.
The campaign, part of the “Year of Natural Scotland,” aimed to showcase the country’s stunning landscapes and traditional craftsmanship. The adorable images quickly went viral, reaching over 576 million people globally and attracting widespread media coverage.
Not only did it boost interest in Scottish tourism, but it also sparked renewed appreciation for local knitwear. Its runaway success even inspired follow-up campaigns—like putting cozy cardigans on Highland cows.”
