Throughout Malaysia, thousands of children struggle daily due to poverty…
Hundreds of children, especially those living in rural areas, come to school every day in yellowed school shirts, toes poking through their tattered sneakers and ripped school bags. Unfortunately, this is the reality for most children in Malaysia.
Despite all this, there are thousands of kind Malaysians who would go out of their way to help those in need.

A heartwarming video recently went viral on TikTok showing a teacher who bought some shoes for her students.
In the video, shared by user @tcer.nana shows two of her students wearing shoes with obvious holes in them, “Saw two of my kids wearing very worn out shoes to school. So I decided to buy them new ones.”
The teacher can be seen helping her students to put on their new pair of shoes, “Is this your size?” she asked.
The little girl is then heard saying: “It’s okay if it’s a little loose. The old shoes are very uncomfortable. These new ones are more comfortable.”
She then asked the other student why she didn’t buy a new pair of shoes for school and her answer broke our hearts! The little girl replied to her teacher saying: “Because my mom doesn’t have the money.”
The video has since garnered over 860,500 views at the time of writing.
Netizens took to the comment section to thank the teacher for her kindness, “Kindness is rare nowadays. Thank you for doing this, teacher.”
Many even offered to buy more school shoes if she had any more students who needed them, “Teacher, if you can find three more students who need a new pair of shoes, let me know. I’ll buy it for them.”
“I would like to buy your students a new pair of shoes. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any more students in need,” another person commented.
This is so kind! You’re such an inspiration, teacher! Thank you for doing this!
