They know good, they remember good, good warms our hearts, but not everyone can do good deeds. It is impossible to say unequivocally who the kindest person in the world is. This article lists several famous people who through their actions helped those in need and did not ask for anything in return. They are the kindest people in the world, they should be looked up to and set as an example for children, and, quite possibly, there will be more such people in the future.

There is an expression “kind as Mother Teresa”, and these words speak for themselves. This woman helped the poor and sick, organized the monastic congregation “Missionary Sisters of Love”, was awarded the Nobel Prize in the category “For active help to a suffering person,” but she did not care about the awards.

On August 26, 1910, baby Agnes Gonxhe Bajaxhiu was born. Her parents visited Catholic Church and helped the poor. Even after her father’s death in 1919, the girl’s mother was not afraid and took six orphans into the family. It is not surprising that in such an atmosphere where harmony and kindness reign, a beautiful girl grew up, who later became Mother Teresa. From childhood, the girl knew her calling. Already at the age of 12, she dreamed of monastic service, heard about poor children in India and wanted to help them.

Mother Teresa did everything out of love for people and tried to help everyone

At the age of 18, Agnes went to live in Ireland, here her dream of becoming a nun came true, the girl was accepted into their ranks by the Irish Sisters of Loreto, and after 2 years she was tonsured as a nun under the name Teresa. The girl chose the name herself, inspired by the actions of a merciful Carmelite nun from Lisieux. In the direction of the order, Nun Teresa went to Calcutta. There was a girls' school called St. Mary's in the town, and it began teaching children to read and write. In 1946, the nun received official permission to help all the needy, poor and disadvantaged of Calcutta, and within 2 years she organized the “Missionary Sisters of Love” community. The monastic congregation began active work; they were engaged in the creation of new shelters and hospitals for seriously ill people, as well as schools for poor people. In each such institution they provided help to all those in need; here it did not matter what nationality or religion the person asking was.

Since 1965, the monastic congregation has been helping not only in India, but also abroad. Today this huge organization is known all over the world. There are 400 of its branches in 111 countries, and more than 700 houses of mercy in 120 countries. The main mission of the congregation is to help those in need, especially in disadvantaged areas or those affected by natural disasters. Mother Teresa actively helped until last days own life. The nun died on September 5, 1997 in Kolkata.

At the time of her death, the nun was 87 years old; she left a huge mark on history and the hearts of many people.

Diana Francis Spencer possessed a certain magic since childhood; she gave joy and warmth, protected the weak, but at the same time she was modest and shy. Diana graduated private school With an average grade, she was always embarrassed to answer in front of the class and timid at the board, but this did not stop her from finding a job. The girl got a job as a teacher's assistant in kindergarten"Young England" and soon met Prince Charles of Wales. It was a fairy tale! Charles fell in love with a modest beauty with huge eyes and soon won her heart. After the wedding, Diana became a real princess, but the happiness was short-lived. After the birth of his sons William and Harry, Prince Charles began to cheat on his wife, and their marriage soon fell apart. It was during this period that Diana launched an active charitable activities.

Lady Di led more than 90 charitable foundations, helped the abandoned and disadvantaged. Her attention never ignored either children or old people who needed her help. Just by appearing, she instilled hope in people.

Diana knew how to give warmth with just a smile

The Queen of Hearts, as Lady Di was dubbed, donated huge sums to treat AIDS patients and develop drugs against this terrible disease. Thanks to her activities, numerous hospitals and hospices were built. Cooperation with the International Federation of the Red Cross saved the lives of many seemingly hopelessly ill people.

Princess Diana was friends with Mother Teresa. People called their first meeting "The Meeting of Angels." They teamed up and led several charitable projects together.

Shortly before her death, Princess Diana arrived in Angola on a peacekeeping mission, and what she saw there was horrifying. Because of civil war lands where they lived simple people, were stuffed with anti-personnel mines. Because of this, many children and old people were left crippled or even died. The country's hospitals were full, there were no beds, people were lying on bare floors.

Lady Di walked through a minefield in protest, and then made a film about anti-personnel mines. She organized a campaign against their use. Diplomats and ministers from most countries around the world supported this idea. The international movement to end the use of anti-personnel mines received Nobel Prize, but, unfortunately, the queen of hearts Diana did not see this.

At the ceremony in honor of the award, the audience honored the good Lady Di with a minute of silence

An old man, Dobri Doborev, or, as the children call him, grandfather Dobri, lives in Bulgaria. He lives 25 km from the city of Sofia and walks this distance every day to beg. The old man is dressed in not new, but clean homespun clothes, and has homemade leather shoes on his feet. So what is so kind and good about this person that he was included in the list of the kindest people?

For decades, Dobri Dobrev has been giving everything he earns on the street to orphanages that are unable to pay their bills, and he himself lives solely on his pension. This old man back in the years of the Great Patriotic War I lost my hearing, but didn’t even think about spending the money collected on my treatment. This is probably why they call him “The Saint of Bailovo”.

Even the name Dobri Dobrev speaks of the kindness of this man

In our seemingly cruel world there are still many kind people, it is impossible to list them all. This article talks about only three people who, through their actions, helped more than one person in need. These are the people who give good, and there are many of them! It is quite possible that one of them lives nearby. You just have to look around, and maybe even become one of them. Give kindness to people, and it will definitely come back to you!

Tasadean tribe

Are there people on our Earth who know neither wars, nor violence, nor murders? A startling discovery was made by anthropologists. In 1971, on the Philippine Islands, where, it would seem, everything had been explored far and wide, an unknown tribe of people was discovered. It lives separately and does not know that it exists the world, where there are also similar ones. This tribe was called the Tasadei. Tasadao is a mountain above the entrance to a cave on the slope of one of the hills in the wilds of the island of Mindanao. There the Tasadei spend the night.

These people have a very primitive life. Each day they live is not much different from the previous one. Waking up at sunrise, they go down to the stream to wash and have breakfast. Thanks to the rich flora and ponds teeming with tadpoles, small fish and crabs, they always have food at hand and do not need to stock up.

The Tasadays sit down on sun-warmed rocks and begin their meal, feeding each other their prey. At noon, the tribe moves into the shade and spends the rest of the day in peace and quiet.

Only at sunset they go in search of plant food and after a vegetarian dinner (lunch) they take refuge in a cave for the night. Their undisturbed sleep lasts about 12 hours.

Life of the Tasadeans

This is how the life of the Tasadeans passes in peace and harmony. They have neither enemies nor dangers (large predators are not found in the Philippines). These people do not farm or raise domestic animals. Instead of clothing, they wear a bandage made of orchid leaves, which they wear on their hips.

This tribe knows neither quarrels nor enmity. When making any decision, they quickly come to a common opinion, so there is no need to appoint chiefs and elders.

Due to the fact that the Tasadeans do not have much good memory, they do not remember random insults and do not hold grudges against their brothers. Couples are created only for love. One marriage for life. The feeling of jealousy is unknown to this amazing people, since they also don’t have betrayals.

In this group of people everyone is equal. After all, they have no property, and they don’t know what money is.

Another remarkable quality of the Tasadei is the absence bad habits(smoking and drinking alcohol). Scientists believe that these people are good-natured and forgiving from birth.

Svetlana Smirnova, Samogo.Net

“Rus' is not without good people!” Russian people can easily be considered one of the most responsive peoples in the world. And we have someone to look up to.

Okolnichy Fedor Rtishchev

During his lifetime, Fyodor Rtishchev, a close friend and adviser to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, received the nickname “gracious husband.” Klyuchevsky wrote that Rtishchev fulfilled only part of the commandment of Christ - he loved his neighbor, but not himself. He was one of that rare breed of people who put the interests of others above their own “wants.” It was on the initiative of the “bright man” that the first shelters for beggars appeared not only in Moscow, but also beyond its borders. It was common for Rtishchev to pick up a drunk on the street and take him to a temporary shelter he organized - an analogue of a modern sobering-up station. How many were saved from death and did not freeze to death on the street, one can only guess.

In 1671, Fyodor Mikhailovich sent grain convoys to starving Vologda, and then money raised from the sale of personal property. And when I learned about the need of the Arzamas residents for additional lands, he simply donated his own.

During the Russian-Polish War, he carried out not only his compatriots, but also Poles from the battlefield. He hired doctors, rented houses, bought food and clothing for the wounded and prisoners, again at his own expense. After Rtishchev’s death, his “Life” appeared - a unique case of demonstrating the holiness of a layman, and not a monk.

Empress Maria Feodorovna

The second wife of Paul I, Maria Fedorovna, was famous for her excellent health and tirelessness. Starting the morning with cold douches, prayer and strong coffee, the Empress devoted the rest of the day to taking care of her countless pupils. She knew how to convince moneybags to donate money for construction educational institutions for noble maidens in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Simbirsk and Kharkov. With her direct participation The largest charitable organization was created - the Imperial Humane Society, which existed until the beginning of the 20th century.

Having 9 children of her own, she especially cared for abandoned babies: the sick were cared for in orphanages, the strong and healthy were cared for in trustworthy peasant families.

This approach has significantly reduced child mortality. With all the scale of her activities, Maria Feodorovna also paid attention to the little things that were not necessary for life. Thus, in the Obukhov psychiatric hospital in St. Petersburg, each patient received his own kindergarten.

Prince Vladimir Odoevsky

A descendant of the Rurikovichs, Prince Vladimir Odoevsky, was convinced that the thought he sowed would certainly “come up tomorrow” or “in a thousand years.” A close friend of Griboyedov and Pushkin, the writer and philosopher Odoevsky was an active supporter of the abolition of serfdom, worked to the detriment of his own interests for the Decembrists and their families, and tirelessly intervened in the fate of the most disadvantaged. He was ready to rush to the aid of anyone who turned to him and saw in everyone a “living string” that could be made to sound for the benefit of the cause.

The St. Petersburg Society for Visiting the Poor, which he organized, helped 15 thousand needy families.

There was a women's workshop, a children's shelter with a school, a hospital, hostels for the elderly and families, and a social store.

Despite his origin and connections, Odoevsky did not seek to occupy an important post, believing that in a “minor position” he could bring “real benefit.” The “Strange Scientist” tried to help young inventors realize their ideas. The main character traits of the prince, according to contemporaries, were humanity and virtue.

Prince Peter of Oldenburg

An innate sense of justice distinguished the grandson of Paul I from most of his colleagues. He not only served in the Preobrazhensky Regiment during the reign of Nicholas I, but also equipped the first school in the history of the country at his place of service, in which soldiers’ children were educated. Later, this successful experience was applied to other regiments.

In 1834, the prince witnessed the public punishment of a woman who was driven through a line of soldiers, after which he petitioned for dismissal, saying that he would never be able to carry out such orders.

Pyotr Georgievich devoted the rest of his life to charity. He was a trustee and honorary member of many institutions and societies, including the Kyiv Home for the Poor.

Sergey Skirmunt

Retired second lieutenant Sergei Skirmunt is almost unknown to the general public. He did not hold high positions and failed to become famous good deeds, but was able to build socialism on a single estate.

At the age of 30, when Sergei Apollonovich was painfully thinking about future fate, he received 2.5 million rubles from a deceased distant relative.

The inheritance was not spent on carousing or lost at cards. One part of it became the basis for donations to the Society for the Promotion of Public Public Entertainment, the founder of which was Skirmunt himself. With the rest of the money, the millionaire built a hospital and a school on the estate, and all his peasants were able to move to new huts.

Anna Adler

The whole life of this amazing woman was devoted to educational and pedagogical work. She was an active participant in various charitable societies, helped during the famine in the Samara and Ufa provinces, and on her initiative the first public reading room was opened in the Sterlitamak district. But her main efforts were aimed at changing the situation of people with disabilities. For 45 years, she did everything to ensure that blind people had the opportunity to become full-fledged members of society.

She was able to find the means and strength to open the first specialized printing house in Russia, where in 1885 the first edition of the “Collection of Articles for children's reading, published and dedicated to blind children by Anna Adler."

To produce the book in Braille, she worked seven days a week until late at night, personally typing and proofreading page after page.

Later, Anna Alexandrovna translated the musical notation system, and blind children were able to learn to play musical instruments. With her active assistance, a few years later the first group of blind students graduated from the St. Petersburg School for the Blind, and a year later from the Moscow School. Literacy and professional training helped graduates find jobs, which changed the stereotypical idea of ​​their incapacity. Anna Adler just barely lived to see the opening of the First Congress of the All-Russian Society of the Blind.

Nikolay Pirogov

The whole life of the famous Russian surgeon is a series of brilliant discoveries, practical use which saved more than one life. The men considered him a wizard who, for his “miracles,” attracts higher power. He was the first in the world to use surgery in the field, and his decision to use anesthesia saved not only his patients from suffering, but also those who lay on the tables of his students later. Through his efforts, the splints were replaced with bandages soaked in starch.

He was the first to use the method of sorting the wounded into those who were seriously injured and those who would make it to the rear. This reduced the mortality rate significantly. Before Pirogov, even a minor wound to the arm or leg could result in amputation.

He personally carried out operations and tirelessly ensured that the soldiers were provided with everything they needed: warm blankets, food, water.

According to legend, it was Pirogov who taught Russian academics conduct plastic surgery, demonstrating the successful experience of implanting a new nose on the face of his barber, whom he helped get rid of deformity.

Being an excellent teacher, about whom all the students spoke with warmth and gratitude, he believed that the main task of education is to teach how to be human.

Hollywood stars are always in the spotlight: photographers, interviews, journalists, filming, every day, as if under the gun of one large camera that records their successes, failures, bad or good deeds, and then spreads this news around the world, giving food for thought or gossip. Usually people discuss the crazy or bad actions of stars, their extravagances and obvious mistakes, while good deeds are somehow hushed up and go into the shadows. Let's try to prove that the most good people in the world- just Hollywood stars.

First among the kindest

Although his inconstancy and extravagance are known to everyone, nevertheless, Johnny has been living in happy marriage with one single woman - singer Vanessa Paradis. Star of the Pirates trilogy Caribbean Sea"and alternative cinema, Depp not long ago helped his fan, seventeen-year-old Sophie Wilkinson, come out of a coma.

The voice of a star returns from the other world

The girl was in a coma for about five months, and her parents had already begun to lose all hope that their daughter would come to her senses, having already tried literally everything. There was only one remedy left, funny at first glance - the voice of their daughter’s favorite actor, that is, Depp. They wrote a touching letter for Depp, asking him, if not to come to their daughter himself, then at least, record your voice. That's what Johnny did, recording an audio track where he parodied himself famous character- Captain Jack Sparrow. Hearing this voice, Sophie moved her legs for the first time, and then began the story of her gradual recovery.

Melody will save lives

And this story is not the only one of its kind. Former member The once popular Spice Girls group, Geri Halliwell, sang for one of her unusual fans. Jessica Knight is fourteen years old and suffered a severe stroke that left her bedridden. Jeri came to her clinic, where she sang just a couple of lines from her song, after which the girl began to control her arms and legs. Now, according to some sources, Jessica feels much better, but she just doesn’t remember what specific song the lead singer of “Pepperchinok” sang to her.

Seller of good mood

The kindest people in the world, such as actress Renee Zellweger, who is known for her films about the charming Bridget Jones, they not only save people’s lives, but also help others fulfill their wishes. Once the actress walked into the Wendy's store, where she noticed a saleswoman looking longingly at shoes from the famous designer Manolo Blahnik. The actress said that she perfectly understood a woman’s desire to be beautiful always and everywhere, and that’s why she...bought these shoes, and then, when the saleswoman returned to her workplace, anonymously gave them to her, simply wrapping them beautifully and placing them on her desk.

American dream

Title " The kindest people in the world“The desperate boor Colin Farel and the scandalous TV presenter Oprah Winfrey were also honored. For the past five years, Colin Farrell has been helping a man without a job or place of residence, a professional beggar named Stress, with money and clothes. And the TV personality surprised everyone at one of her shows, where she gave each viewer a car, and one homeless girl - money to get a decent education, as well as for clothes and a beauty salon. Probably, it is precisely stories like these that constitute the essence of such a phenomenon as the “American Dream”, when not a single desire is limited by the limits of fantasy.
