Peter Mutabazi grew up in Uganda and had a difficult childhood. As an adult, he felt compelled to help other children. Nearly a decade ago, Peter felt called to become a foster parent. He’s fostered 47 children and has adopted three. “Once you journey into foster care, it’s hard to go home and say life is going to be okay knowing there are so many children that are looking for a safe and loving home,” he told WXII. Peter Mutabazi explained that his heart is open and so is his home. “For me, I am willing to take in any child so long as I have an extra room or the county allows me to take extra, I will truly love to take as many as I can,” he added. “My job is to make sure children have a safe home, but also they can go back home, and if they cannot go back home, I want to be their final home.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Peter Mutabazi l Foster and Adoptive Dad (@fosterdadflipper) Peter Mutubazi Felt Compelled to Care for Tony According to a story shared by Pubity, Peter Mutubazi’s son, Tony, was abandoned at a jhopstial by adopted family at age 11.

Rouble Nagi had long wanted to help educate the less fortunate in India. She traveled to poverty-stricken areas. She created The Rouble Nagi Art Foundation, which provides education to those who may otherwise go without it. In a little more than two decades, her passion grew to encompass 800 learning centers and murals that teach literacy, educating approximately 1 million children. The World Governments Summit recognized this incredible accomplishment and awarded Rouble Nagi the $1 million Global Teacher Prize, Euronews reported. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Better India (@thebetterindia) Rouble Nagi Feels Very Proud of Her Accomplishment It’s taken a long time to build a successful network, and she’s extremely proud of what she’s done. “If I had enough words to explain what I’m feeling right now. I think I’m short of words. I’m humbled beyond words. So much to be thankful for,” she told Euronews. “This is for my country, India. I’m just so overwhelmed right now, thank you so much.” Rouble said that one of the most important parts of her mission is using art in education. Creativity allows educators to explore learning with students in a way that everyone can understand. It’s not about learning letters, numbers, or ideas; it’s about expressing what’s inside. “I’ve always believed, and I always say that art is one medium that helps you connect to people very easily,” she said. “It breaks the barriers between you and children, between you and people living in villages, slums, cities, anywhere.” Rouble Nagi intends to use the prize money to make a dream come true. “For the last few years, we have been wanting to do a school, a learning centre, a skill center, a computer lab in Kashmir,” she said. “I guess that dream would come true now.” This story’s featured image can be found here

Located in over 100 slums and villages, Rouble Nagi’s classrooms offer safe, inspiring spaces to help overcome the challenging conditions […] The post Teacher Wins $1M Prize for Turning India’s Slums Into Hundreds of Open-Air Classrooms appeared first on Good News Network.

There’s not much we don’t love about Kevin Bacon. He’s not just a brilliant actor, but he’s truly a nice guy. He and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, have been together for nearly 40 years and have a relationship many people envy. Their son, Travis, and daughter, Sosie, complete their happy family. They own a 40-acre farm in Connecticut and often film fun content on their beautiful property. Kevin Bacon recently shared an encounter with his animals after some time away, and it’s the wholesome moment we needed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kevin Bacon (@kevinbacon) Kevin Bacon Adores His Animals He and Kyra Sedgwick have lots of animals on their farm, and it appears they all have distinct names and personalities. As Kevin approached the animals, wearing a beanie his daughter made him for Christmas, he talked to the camera about reuniting with animals after vacation. We’ve all seen how dogs react when their humans return after a break, but Kevin wanted to see if he’d get the same reaction from his pigs, cows, and goats. To his delight, most of Kevin’s animals seemed genuinely excited to see him home. It was a cold and slightly snowy day, but Kevin Bacon and his animals didn’t seem to mind. They were all enjoying the Connecticut winter day. As always, Kevin’s video melted fans’ hearts. “I love these animals and I don’t even know them. I know that they are loved. This makes me happy. Thank you,” a fan shared. “I wish I had all those friends welcoming me after a vacation!! Love this Kevin!!!” Another person wrote. We agree with this person completely. There’s nothing we don’t love about Kevin Bacon, his family, and now his animal friends. “Could we possibly love this dude any more?” This story’s featured image can be found here
