World boxing champion built 1,000 houses for poor Filipinos
Once upon a time, Manny Pacquiao was an ordinary Filipino boy from a poor family, but now he is the only boxer in the world to win the world championship in 8 weight categories. With his first large fee, he built houses for the residents of his home village of Tango. Today, a thousand houses have already been built with his money.
Syrian man stayed in abandoned Aleppo to take care of cats
Alaa Jaleel from Aleppo risked his life every day to provide food and shelter to those in need. And when people left the city, he stayed to take care of their pets. He has more than a hundred cats, including a kitten that one little girl left him when she left. “I said I would take care of him until she came back,” Ala says.
The teacher organized a "Gentlemen's Club" for boys from single-parent families
Raymond Nelson is a teacher in a South Carolina school. He had trouble dealing with the bullies in his class. So he bought jackets and ties and created a “Gentlemen’s Club”, where boys learn once a week what fathers usually tell their sons: how to tie ties, how to address elders and how to be polite to your mother, grandmother or sister. Nelson's strict dress code serves a purpose, because a man wearing a tuxedo wouldn't fight. “I understand that they behave badly not because they are bad, but because they simply lack attention and love,” says the teacher.
Danish woman rescues two-year-old Nigerian boy abandoned by his parents
Almost a year has passed since Danish woman Anja Ringgren Loven found an emaciated two-year-old baby on the street. She named him Hope. His own parents kicked the boy out of the house, considering him a “sorcerer.” Then he was a little over a year old, and he survived only thanks to handouts from passers-by. Anya took him to her shelter, which she shares with her husband, David Emmanuel Umem. 35 rescued children from one to 14 years old live there.
When Anya posted a photo with Hope on Facebook, users from all over the world began to transfer money to her. A total of $1 million was raised. Anya and her husband have plans for a large orphanage and a clinic for children. And Hope now does not at all resemble a “skeleton on legs.” This is a cheerful baby who, according to his adoptive mother, “enjoys life to the fullest.”

At the Olympics, in the 5,000-meter race, New Zealand runner Nikki Hambly faced American Abby D'Agostino. Nikki helped her opponent up, and then they ran together, supporting each other.

Schoolchildren repeated graduation ceremony for their classmate who was in a car accident
Scott Dunn was in a serious car accident just before his graduation. After waking up from his coma, Scott was terribly upset that he had missed such an important day. But as soon as the young man began to recover, the school principal called his parents and said: “We want to do something special for your son.” It turned out that Scott's classmates had prepared a personal graduation for him. The celebration, congratulatory speeches, and graduation outfits were repeated, but this time only one diploma was awarded. Scott was shocked to the core: “I have no words. It’s incredible to realize how many people actually care about me.”
A homeless Thai man received housing and a job in gratitude for his honest deed
A 44-year-old homeless Thai man named Waralop found a wallet at a metro station. Despite the fact that he had no money at all, and in his wallet there were 20 thousand baht ($ 580) and credit cards, he did not spend it on his own needs, but took the find to the police. The owner of the wallet turned out to be 30-year-old factory owner Niity Pongkriangyos, who was amazed by the homeless man's honesty. He admitted that if he himself had found himself in such a situation, he would hardly have returned the wallet. In gratitude, Niiti provided Varalop with a service apartment and gave him work in his factory. Now the former homeless man earns 11 thousand baht ($317) a month and no longer sleeps in the subway.
In Altai, a fisherman rescued a drowning moose from an ice hole.
Barnaul resident Ivan Drachev was returning from fishing and noticed a moose that had fallen through the ice. On the third attempt, Ivan threw a rope lasso over its hoof and pulled the animal out. The elk was very cold and shivering, so we had to rub him. “It was funny when I sat down next to him, he put his muzzle on my knee and snorted. It seems like a cow, but it understands everything,” Ivan wrote on his blog.
Russell Crowe
Crowe has said more than once that for him living in Los Angeles is like sleeping at work. According to the actor, he needs to wake up with the sunrise and be able to wander barefoot on the grass under the trees. The actor gave himself this opportunity by going to live with his family in Australia on his own farm. He now visits Los Angeles exclusively for work. Very soon he will again have to temporarily exchange the green lawn for the carpet, because Crowe is awaiting the premiere of the comedy “Goodfellas,” where he played one of the main roles together with Ryan Gosling. Hero Crow is a hired security guard who can solve any problem with his fists and a baseball bat. He will have to investigate a seemingly trivial case together with an absurd private detective in the person of Gosling, and, as one might guess, their methods will turn out to be very comical. You can have fun in the company of such different in appearance, but equally talented Crowe and Gosling in the cinema from June 16.
Sandra Bullock
The charm of this woman in Hollywood is legendary. Everyone who is lucky enough to work with her at least once becomes her friends forever. Kind, sympathetic, with a sense of humor and, on top of that, modest, Bullock, in addition to her acting career, is known for her good deeds. She donated a million dollars to the American Red Cross 4 times and also adopted two children. Bullock used to think she was happy family life impossible in Los Angeles, so she lived in New Orleans, where she even opened a small bakery, but now she has moved again to Beverly Hills. Rumor has it that it's all about her new photographer boyfriend, who recently moved in with the actress and her children.
Shia LaBeouf
Hollywood's top eccentric wasn't always like this. At least publicly. Shia was born into the family of a circus performer and a ballerina who danced in a nightclub. His parents were mainly involved in sorting things out and only occasionally raising a child, so LaBeouf was left to his own devices from childhood, which made him independent. At the age of 15, LaBeouf got an agent and began to make his way to fame. Everything went like clockwork until the actor began to have his first problems with the law in 2008. This was followed by inappropriate behavior in public, strange clothing and quirks in the form of a paper bag on her head at the premiere of Nymphomaniac. As a result, Shia protected himself from Hollywood, and Hollywood protected itself from Shia. The actor now declares himself as an artist, almost never acts in films and leads a bohemian lifestyle, abandoning luxury. So modest Hollywood star!
Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves has not yet fled to the American outback from noisy Los Angeles, but he has managed to become famous throughout Hollywood for his modesty. The actor lives in a small apartment and does not like to go shopping - he can wear the same things for years. Keanu has never used the services of a bodyguard and easily moves around the city by subway. He loves going to museums and does not like to eat in restaurants - he can often be seen with a sandwich on a park bench. The modest star of “The Matrix” often repeats that money has not bothered him for a long time, and what he has earned will be enough for him for several centuries. The actor maintains a cancer foundation and actively helps the homeless.
Jennifer Garner
The talented actress and mother of three children is rightfully considered one of the most modest Hollywood inhabitants. Garner has always been the most down-to-earth girl. The actress, without hesitation, exchanged her career and fees for the opportunity to be close to her family and support her husband, actor and director Ben Affleck. You probably already know how it ended: it seems that everyone has heard about the loud and ugly divorce. How this happened is anyone's guess, because it was hard to dream of a better woman, but Affleck, apparently, knows something that everyone else doesn't know. Now the actress has to rebuild her personal life, which will certainly have a positive impact on her career. Very soon we will see Jen in the fantastic comedy “Nine Lives”, where she plays one of the main roles along with Kevin Spacey.
Hayden Christensen
The Star Wars star was so tired of fame and paparazzi attention that he returned to his homeland in Canada, where he settled on a farm. Hayden decided not to just sit quietly in the fresh air, but became seriously interested in agriculture: he started a chicken coop, organized a stable, planted a garden and started growing organic vegetables and fruits. He even plowed the land himself on his own small tractor! And when the first harvest brought the novice farmer a small income, the actor seriously thought about increasing the acreage. Moreover, Hayden has completely converted his farm to solar energy and is constantly striving to make his life even more environmentally friendly. In addition, now he has someone to work for: Christensen and his lover, actress Rachel Bilson, are the parents of one-and-a-half-year-old baby Briar Rose.
