Some people have the power to make the world a better place, thanks to their empathy and kindness. Anyone who thinks that all people are selfish and insensitive is wrong: a small gesture is enough to change someone's day. Just sit down and talk to curious children, read to a barber, give children gifts, describe to a blind husband what is inside a museum, create personalized dolls to help children accept their differences, mow the lawn of people who can no longer do it or give a pair of shoes to those who need it most. We have selected 15 images that may restore your faith in humanity.
