It is often said that no amount of kindness is ever too small and this little boy has made an attempt on kindness loud enough for the world to hear.
A six year old boy has won not just the heart of the world but the heart of the president in a letter he penned to the president of the United States of America asking him to bring the to his home one Syrian refugee.
In a hand written letter, the six year old whose name has been given as Alex, from Scarsdale, New York intend on teaching the Syrian how to ride the bicycle and how to speak and write English as well.
Obama read Alex’s words aloud in a speech he gave at the United Nations earlier this week, before posting a video of Alex reading the letter himself to Facebook.
Omran Daqneesh,is a little boy who was injured after his home in Aleppo, Syria, was bombed. In his message, Obama asked people to read the letter to “understand why he had decided to share it with the world.”
“Those are the words of a six-year-old boy — a young child who has not learned to be cynical, or suspicious, or fearful of other people because of where they come from, how they look, or how they pray,” the President wrote.
“We should all be more like Alex. Imagine what the world would look like if we were,” he added.
At the time of writing the post has collected more than 100,000 “likes” and been shared more than 60,000 times, with many Facebook users praising the compassion shown by Alex.
