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.

My Son Wanted To Use The $120 He Saved This Year To Help The Homeless. He Made Them Lunches
You can go f*****g look at the homeless and judge they are burdened with addiction perhaps brought on by seriously traumatic events or mentally disabled and dismissed by society for not being “normal" I was homeless because I couldn't handle high school bullying 227 lbs I found other people like me downtown and when I was On welfare making $227 a month with apartment buildings almost always looking for reference checks. I ended up poor uneducated homeless and very poor I think alcohol should be banned and drugs never entered my life you are a closed minded narrow person who needs to experience the homeless lifestyle before judging

9-Year-Old Boy Created A No-Kill Animal Shelter In His Garage
There is actually a video floating around about this kid... he's gotten a lot more funds and support now. This is parenting done right!
No child is born with hate in them, no child knows a colour bar to friendship, no child is born xenophobic. I thank my mother and father every single day of my life for teaching me well....
Load More Replies...I'm going to share his story and website on my FB page Hoping he will get more attention and donations ❤️
I've seen him before too glad he's getting help with his goals love animals and adore his idea
His love with animals is beyond compare at his age right now. He might be an animal whisperer.

My 3-Year-Old Daughter Saw A Little Girl Without Hair And Asked Why She Was Bald. I Explained She Was Sick And The Medicine Made Her Hair Fall Out. "Oh. She Can Have Some Of My Hair," She Said
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!
Just realized the kid I was talking about is further down this list lol
Load More Replies...I once donated my hair to Little Princess (UK). http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/
I mean, if you should be interested in donating your hair, there are some charities. They have several regulations, like what kind of hair is suitable or how to tie your hair before donation.
Load More Replies...The most amazing little girl I've ever seen. Well done. She's my hero!
Who ever has ever donated their hair is a human superhero to someone who, for whatever reason, has no hair.
This obviously a good thing, it will help make a wig for another child. Having said that this is clearly 100% the parents doing lol come on!
Bless you Ariana! Your new hair cut is beautiful, and you are beautiful on the inside, too!

Load More Replies...God created us all did He not?!? Man is the only one who discriminates out of fear of the differences between us. We are all human beings created by God. The Golden Rule states: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." These people are using religion as an excuse to openly discriminate against others. God does not hate any one for we are all His children.

These Kids In Canada Tied Coats To Street Poles To Help Homeless Prepare For Winter
I really do agree, I can't say much else otherwise I would be copying you
Load More Replies...My cynical side makes me wonder how many non-homeless people took the opportunity to get a new free coat. People are so unsensitive nowadays...
I was thinking of the homeless in my area last night when it was 3°C through the night. I was hoping they had something to keep warm. I hope the jackets reached people who could use them.
for a minute i thought they put it there so the poles could be warm lol
Makes your heart boom with pride. There is hope for the humans after all...............
God Bless all these children & their families for teaching them all about love, kindness & respect!????????????❤️❤️❤️❤️

My Son Said There's Some Kids In His Class That Don't Eat Their Lunch. "How Come?" "Cause They Don't Have One, Mommy. Can I Bring Them Some Of Mine?" Totally His Idea, And He Helped Pack It, Too
I had a kid in my 3rd grade class that never had anything to eat. I told my mom, and she would always pack something extra to share with him. My teacher, Mrs. Elkins at David Youree elementary, told me unless I brought enough to share with everyone I couldn't give him anything. I broke my heart, I cried when I had to tell the kid I couldn't share anymore. It was wrong, I should have done it anyways. A teacher should encourage compassion, not punish it.
I honestly can't believe that schools wouldn't interfere if there are kids that have nothing to eat for lunch! So sad!!! :-(
Why didn't they call CPS? I don't understand.
Load More Replies...Hey, looks pretty good. I might just have to join them. I'll bring dessert, enough for all of course. What a generous heart.

I can imagine the dogs discussing among them later. "What did she read to you? We read about this tree that kept giving and giving..." "Oh, mine was about a little girl and a spider..."
And all the dogs are paying close attention in case any of it is on the test at the end of the day. Seriously though, the dogs do look like they are really paying close attention. I think it is the sound of the human voice that offers them a bit of comfort.
My dauther is Always studing with one of our 3 cats on her knees. She speak out loud her lessons so they can learn too, as they are not allowed to school... :)
This would be fun. Integrating things like this integrating this into learning would make it even better

9-Year-Old Boy Saves His Summer Allowance Money To Buy And Donate Books To Local Jail
I love this one SO MUCH! Prisoners often aren't thought about or discussed much in "civilized society,", so it's amazing to see a kid thinking about them and giving. Forget no one, and love all!
I think your forgetting the fact that many prisoners get better treatment and care than the elderly.

Homeless Boy Does His Homework Using The Light From A Local Mcdonald’s
No, that didn't happen. But at the time, this photo went viral and donations kept pouring in, and the kid received lots of school items and a school education!
Load More Replies...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.
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.

He and his family found a new home in Germany and are safe and well. Rose too (the puppy)
Load More Replies...I remember seeing him in a video. I cried then, and I'm crying now.
Muslims apparently consider dogs unclean, so either he is a Syrian Christian, or he reallllllllly loves that puppy.
Yes we do but we love them, and we can have them too but we can keep them outside of the house.
Load More Replies...Would have been more kind to the animal to give it up for adoption to a home where it could be well taken care of.
2-Year-Old Triplets Become Best Friends With Their Garbage Collectors
In my own experience, it's difficult to me or many people in my city to talk to garbage collectors cause they are always in a rush. Glad to see these guys can slow down a bit and have fun with these little girls :)
It's 2 boys and a girl. I've followed their moms page since they were born.
Load More Replies...Wrong. It's not hard, but a lot of people look down on them, especially if they're minorities. This is a fantastic example of purity of heart and disregard for race or social status.
Load More Replies...Twit. Would you prefer the children piggy back the grown a*s men.
Load More Replies...What. So? The children love them. That's what's sweet.

Don't worry, he will come back. Animals know when they are safe and loved.
It does look cute, but out of curiosity, isn't it too hot for cats? (a question from a cat-less cat-lover)
Probably not, cats like crazy hot stuff. Think of how they lie in sunbeams. I have cats, one of them sleeps under the duvet with me all night, which has got to be hotter than just lying under a duvet :-)

Probably a nurse or doctor. They are both obviously in the pediatric (children's) ward of the hospital

I think this is fantastic, but I wonder how her municipality responds. Typically, when people build shelters for the homeless, the municipality comes along and removes them for various reasons such as the claim that they aren't suitable housing (a park bench is sooooo much better, right?).

This 8-Year-Old Boy Is Raising Money Online And Making Sure No Kid Is Denied A Hot Lunch
For all the tax money paid in America children shout get free lunch at school.
That's only partly true. While programs don't exist in all regions (for some reason), many districts are now offering free meals for all children (don't have to prove income) for all three meals. And in my experience, assistance abounds, but the individual has to apply. No one is going door-to-door asking if you need help.

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 :-)
damn... coloring books are cheat. i'd not be able to purchase that number of coloring book with that money here
It is amazing the deals you can get when you buy in bulk. But unless it is for something like this most people only need one or two books
