During their school exams, Abel found himself in a challenging situation. His classmate, Bethlehem, needed help when she unexpectedly started her period without any supplies. Without hesitation, Abel took off his jacket and wrapped it around her waist, ensuring she felt comfortable and supported.

His kindness and empathy made a difference that day. Let’s celebrate Abel’s compassion and remind ourselves that small acts of kindness can have a big impact!
