VIDEO: When Their Favorite Teacher’s Hearse Pulls Up His Students Do Something Totally Unexpected!
Amazing teachers who work hard to truly affect and change the lives of their pupils are hard to come by. Dawson Tamatea was one of the few who impacted his students and achieved such results. He worked at Palmerston North Boy’s High School in New Zealand as a math and physical education teacher. Mr. Tamatea’s career began back in 1986 when he first started at the school and continued all the way up to the present until he recently passed away.
Upon his passing, the all boys school was closed for half a day so that the staff and students could be present at his funeral. Hundreds of people including many alumni gathered at the cemetery to honor and remember their beloved teacher. When the hearse arrived the boys stood ready to perform a haka as a final farewell to Mr. Tamatea.
Their tribute was the traditional ancestral war cry of the Maori people who live in New Zealand. It is known as a haka which is an ancient ritual that involves energetic movements, stomping feet, and clapping hands, all in rhythm to the shouts of the war cry.
The sight and sound of all the boys performing the haka for their teacher is powerful, loud, and moving. The emotional scene is clear proof that Mr. Tamatea was a legendary mentor, friend, and teacher in the eyes of everyone gathered there to bid him one final farewell that day.
The school originally posted the video on their YouTube channel PNBHS, and wrote “We are extremely proud of our boy’s performance and we know that Mr. Tamatea would be too.” After viewing their haka tribute, one can only agree with the school’s statement, those boys should be nothing but proud of their moving and traditional final presentation.

He Reunites With A Gorilla He Saved and Raised For 5 Years. The Ape’s Reaction Is An Unexpected Surprise!
The Aspinall Foundation has been reintroducing captive gorillas back into the wild over the past 10 years. The gorillas are brought to the foundation’s million acre reserves in West Africa from England’s Howletts Wild Animal Park. There they are set free back into the wild jungles so they have a chance to live their lives as nature intended.
Kwibi, a lowland gorilla, had been brought up at the park by a conservationist named Damian Aspinall. After 5 years in England the gorilla was brought to the West African country of Gabon where he could live the rest of his life in the wild.
Since Kwibi’s release five years ago he had only come into contact with several humans, and each time he acted aggressive towards them. With that in mind, Damian set out with his brother, determined to find his old friend.
They traveled up and down a river that cut through the jungle for a few hours, calling out for him along the way. When they rounded a river bend, Kwibi appeared at the edge of the river, full grown and healthy as ever.
Damian’s crew were prepared for the worst and had food ready to throw if anything went bad. But they wouldn’t need to use it because as soon as Damian approached him, Kwibi let out a deep rumbling gurgle that signified his love for his old friend.
The two sat close together, looking deep into each others eyes, silently sharing a moment and appreciating all that they’d experienced together. Kwibi pulled Damian in for a hug and after that his girlfriend and family started to come forth, feeling safe enough to meet the strange new man.
There was much love and affection shown between them and Kwibi held his old friend close in his arms, not wanting to let go. Once Damian managed to get back into the boat so the crew could leave for camp, Kwibi followed them the whole way back, and set up his own camp on the opposite side of the river. All night long he called out for his old friend.
Early the next morning Damian went for a swim in the river and Kwibi immediately appeared on the bank. The love between the two is beyond words or belief. They truly shared an unbreakable bond and will hold each other in their hearts forever.

Machine Sells Extremely Cheap T-Shirts But Everyone Walks Away Empty Handed After Seeing THIS
What price would you pay for fashion? Some pay top dollar for designer pieces but practically everyone wants the cheapest, most affordable, clothing they can find. Fashion is a huge industry and when a bargain catches a person’s attention it can be hard to ignore. When shoppers at Alexanderplatz in Berlin saw a shiny turquoise vending machine selling 2€ T-shirts they quickly stepped up to purchase the cheap items. After inserting money and selecting their size no new shirt came right out. Instead, potential customers were met with a video that started to play on the screen.
The short clip introduced them to Manisha, a young girl who works in a factory making clothes that are sold at very low prices. Conditions there are cramped, crowded, poor and unsafe. She makes only 13 cents an hour and works 16 hour days, which is why the company selling the shirts is able to do so at such low prices. She is only one face out of the millions who work everyday in these deplorable and inhumane conditions.
When the video stops it poses a simple question “Do you still want to buy this 2€ T-shirt?” It then offers two choices; buy or donate. Eight out of ten shoppers chose to donate. The reactions captured were shock, sadness, disbelief and many simply shook their heads or frowned.
The social experiment was set up to test whether people would still choose to buy clothing even if they knew of the deplorable conditions under which it was manufactured. The aim was to highlight the need for greater transparency about where our clothes come from. It took place on Fashion Revolution Day, April 24th, which is held in memory of the 1,133 workers who were killed in Bangladesh when the Rana Plaza garment factory collapsed in 2013.
Ideally, brands will step up and take responsibility to protect the health and welfare of the people and places they rely on to supply their businesses. Until they actually do, the Fashion Revolution Project will continue to fight and work for improving conditions. Raising awareness and highlighting the issue is only the first step.

He Gave a Homeless Man $100 and Followed Him To See How He Spent It. The Result Is Surprising!
When Josh Paler Lin approached a homeless man on the street to give him $100 he wanted to see how the man would spend the money. Josh explained that he thought the guy would waste it away on alcohol instead of food and other necessities and that the video he set out to make was originally planned to expose homeless people. After following the man he ended up capturing a caring and genuine moment that was completely unexpected in the best way possible.
The man went into a convenience store, the type of mart that sells food and alcohol, and came out with a large bag filled with stuff. He walked several blocks over to a park and started handing out food and provisions to other people in need. The man shocked and proved Josh wrong by spending the money to unselfishly help others who are in just as much need as himself.
After witnessing the touching sight Josh went over to the man again and told him that he’d been recording and following him ever since he handed him the money to see what he’d do with it. He admitted he thought he’d spent it on booze and says he is so impressed that he wants to give him another $100. The man is so grateful and humble and tells his story about how he became homeless.
He had been living with his parents when his stepfather was diagnosed with cancer. The bills were adding up, and insurance covered only so much, so he quit his job to help care for them. Soon his dad passed away and then his mom passed just two weeks later. The building they’d been living in was being sold and now he was out on his luck living on the streets.
He went on to explain how there are a lot of good people who are homeless not because of drink or drug addiction but because of life circumstances that are beyond their control. The video is positively eye opening and further proof that you should never judge people based on how they look or appear to you, but rather on how they act.

This Truck Driver Crashed Into The White Car Intentionally. The Reason Is So Heroic!
A high speed chase occurred in a park filled with families and children playing. A car had been stolen by a teen who was speeding recklessly without any concern for the lives he might have destroyed. Had it not been for a good samaritan, Bryson Rowley, jumping in his own truck and plowing into the runaway car to stop it, many people could have been hurt and killed. Without any thought for himself, Bryson instinctively just jumped to end the mayhem.
Bryson, himself, was not injured but his truck sustained plenty of damage. You know the saying, that what you put out into the universe will come back to you? Well, it certainly did for Bryson Rowley. Seeing the news clip of the incident on TV, Bryan Ellison, an auto body shop owner volunteered to help. He was so moved that Bryson had put his life on the line to save the lives of many children, that he told him he would fix the car at no cost.
The story doesn’t end there! When Bryan went to pick up the truck he dropped off a rental car for Bryson’s use. Other members of the community heard about Bryan’s good deed and they came together to donate bumpers, suspension pieces and other parts that not only fixed the truck, but increased the safety and value of the vehicle.
A $7,500 free repair turned into $15,000 worth of work to return a much upgraded truck to the hero of the community. Rowley was overwhelmed by how the everyone came together for him. I was bowled over by the entire story that shows the beauty of paying it forward. They should all be very proud of the character and humanity that was shared.
