First, there is the old woman in China living in poverty saving the babies she finds in the trash.
And, also in China, another poor woman trying to help a child who has been run over.
Here's a list of another 10 modern day good Samaritans.
Here's a video of people who returned lost money and valuables.
And here is the story of a Good Conductor who helped a young man get to say goodbye to his dying mother (warning: the story does contain a lot of British slang).

The good Samaritan is almost always a poor person.
People living in poverty get a bad rap nowadays with stereotypes like the welfare queen or the wino. We need reminders that when we're talking about poverty, we're talking about real people. The stereotypes are just that, stereotypes. They have little if anything to do with reality. We're all human beings. We have a lot more in common than we have differences.
Some statistics to ponder. |
