4 . In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.

It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms. Ann.

Brennan’s promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms. Ann and sending gifts regularly(定期地), long after the challenge was over.

Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan still visits Ms. Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.

They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals. The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates. Ms. Ann always hopes to hear about what he’s doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time. They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.

Brennan’s mom, Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I’m so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann’s life. I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”

Ms. Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire(启发)him in return.

6 . There are so many interesting and different cultures around the world. Each comes with its own customs, traditions, and worldviews. Through travel, we’re able to broaden our minds by seeing how others live and think differently. Join us to take a look through some of the most unique and beautiful cultures in the world.

This native group live mainly in Northern Namibia in a semi-nomadic (半游牧的) lifestyle. Visually remarkable, with red skin and hair, fancy jewelry, and goat-hide clothing, this community is one of the most unique cultures found around the world. Their way of life is still preserved today, as they live in remote villages separate from the rest of Namibian society.

The Berbers are children of the pre-Arab population in North Africa, who lived across several countries but mainly settled in Morocco. They’re famous worldwide for their artistic heritage in pottery (陶器) and design. On our Best of Morocco tour, you’ll drink Berber tea with locals in a traditional Nomad house in Dades Valley.

Rajasthani culture is one of energy, beauty and civilization. Traditionally known as the ‘Land of Kings’, this part of India is rich and resourceful, attracting visitors worldwide with its magical architecture, joyous folk dances and impressive color scheme. On the Classical India with Nepal tour, you’ll visit one of Rajasthan’s famous colored cities -Jaipur, or ‘the pink city’.

The Bedouin people are desert-living nomadic people living in several countries in North Africa, the Middle Eastern deserts and Arabian peninsula. They are Arab-speaking and tribal, with a deep connection to the desert. Even their name, ‘Bedouin’, means ‘desert-dweller’. Have tea under the stars in the Jordanian desert with Bedouin locals on the Jordan Experience tour.

8 . Rob Kenney’s dad left him when he was little. At a time when he was on the path to young adulthood, he had no father to guide him on the way. He had a painful experience as a young boy, but learned, with the help of his marriage, to forgive his dad just before his dad died in his 80s. Now, with a wife of 29 years and two successful adult children — Kristine, 27, who works with kids, and Kyle, a software engineer — Kenney wants to pay it forward.

“My goal in life was to raise good adults, not good children,” he explains. The fact that his kids have both grown up and left the house left him thinking how he might help others. And the quarantine (隔离期) was actually the perfect time for him to finally share some key life skills with other kids who might be growing up in difficult situations — maybe they’ve lost a parent or have parents who are absent.

So the dad set up a heart-warming YouTube program called Dad, How Do I?, a program that shares instructional videos like how to cook a meal and tie a perfect tie.

His practical tips have really touched the viewers, which are growing in number day by day. Rob Kenney is just what the Internet needs — a caring dad who wants to share his skills. It’s no wonder that he has gotten as many as 1.9 million fans in return.

The unbelievable success of Rob Kenney’s videos suggests the need for a good father figure in a child’s life. From teaching basic life skills to encouraging them to be kind, a father figure helps kids develop into active members of society. He especially instructs them in good manners, being honest, and being grateful.
