They have been clearing landmines from conflict sites around the world for many years. Among them is Sri Lanka where a thirty-year civil war ended in 2009. HALO immediately began helping remove unexploded ordnance, and recently announced they had cleared 300,000 landmines from a large area. &ldquo;Thanks to HALO, over 280,000 former internally displaced persons have now returned safely to their homes and most of the land is clear.&rdquo; Halo&rsquo;s Sri Lanka Operations Manager said, &ldquo;Today, I&rsquo;m proud to be part of the team leading their clearance. Reaching the milestone of 300,000 landmines removed is not just a number; it represents lives saved and land returned to communities.&rdquo;</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10478-690248cd0ce3c.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10478-690248cd0ce3c.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Fred Rogers</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How Different Religions Practice Forgiveness -- and What We Can Learn From Them</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10480</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10480</guid> <description>Forgiveness, as described across Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, is less an erasure of harm and more a courageous recalibration of relationships. In Judaism, the ritual of Yom Kippur and the practice of teshuvah highlight a community's commitment to reconciliation, demanding face-to-face acknowledgment of wrongs. Islam presents forgiveness through the story of the Prophet's journey to Taif, illustrating forgiveness as a transcendent act rooted in hope and strength beyond personal grievance. Christianity invites adherents to echo forgiveness in life's tapestry through prayer and parables, where it signifies deliberate grace rather than facile absolution. At its core, forgiveness defies a simplistic conception, instead asking us to navigate an alchemical transformation of wrongs into new beginnings, pointing toward healing that is as much about humbling the heart as it is about mending the soul. These traditions teach that forgiveness is neither a passive act nor a denial of justice; it is an intentional step toward liberation and renewal amidst humanity's collective brokenness.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10480-69044b25b849d.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10480-69044b25b849d.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Paul Boose</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>School Surprises Beloved Principal with Dream Wedding</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10476</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10476</guid> <description>Principal Brianna Lanoye of Buffalo Academy of Science Charter School loves her students and they love her, too. Brianna was planning her wedding and expressed to her coworker and Vice Principal Courtney Champlin that she would love to have all her students attend the wedding. Courtney said that wasn&rsquo;t possible, but then secretly created a plan to do just that. The school and Brianna&rsquo;s fianc&eacute; were all in on it. When the big day came, Brianna noticed many of the kids looking particularly dressed up and even commented on how nice they looked. Later that day, Courtney walked Brianna down the aisle with all the students in attendance. Briana said, &ldquo;To see the love and effort the students and team poured into this for me was one of the most touching moments of my life. This is a day I will truly never forget. They are all a part of my family.&rdquo;</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10476-68fb0b58157fb.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10476-68fb0b58157fb.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Steve Maraboli</dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Unhoused in Denver, He Emptied His Bank Account to Save His Elderly Aunt</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10470</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10470</guid> <description>Mark Gaskin had a good job and a home with a private back yard when he was seriously injured in an on-the-job accident. He became unable to work and pay his bills, and lost his home. He lives in his car parked outside his aunt&rsquo;s apartment. Last year, his 81-year-old aunt&rsquo;s account got hacked, and she got an eviction notice. When Mark found out, he paid her rent, and became her caregiver, cleaning her house, doing laundry, and taking her shopping. Even though he was sleeping in a car, and having to go to rec centers to shower and food banks to eat, he didn&rsquo;t want his aunt living that way. &ldquo;You know, it&rsquo;s tough right now because my situation, living outta my car. But it doesn&rsquo;t change my duty as a member of this family.&rdquo; &ldquo;I&rsquo;m glad I was able to show her that our relationship goes beyond finances.

LaMothe, dance is more than just movement. &nbsp;&ldquo;Dancing, we cultivate a sensory awareness that helps us discern how to think and feel and act in ways that honor nature &ndash; the nature surging through our veins, crackling in our thoughts, roaming with our senses, moving in and out of our bodily selves&hellip;&rdquo; It is an integrative and imaginative interaction that invites &ldquo;relationships with the nature at work in us, through us, and around us.&rdquo; Kimerer relates four experiences in which the dance unfolds: the movement I make is making me;&nbsp;pleasure is the path; desire is the source; the goal is to play.&nbsp;Dancing is another way of embracing and &ldquo;being with&rdquo; nature. &ldquo;Our greatest strength as human beings and our greatest hope for survival on this planet lies in working with rather than against the forces of nature.&rdquo;</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10474-68f65c2394438.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10474-68f65c2394438.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Ricardo Gutierrez</dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 21 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>This physician left her job to teach life skills for those in need</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10472</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10472</guid> <description>Kathryn Miner worked as an emergency medicine physician for more than a decade before discovering culinary medicine. "Culinary medicine is centered on nutrition, food safety aspects, teaching kitchens, being a physician and kind of slash pseudo chef." Miner left emergency medicine and began practicing culinary medicine at a health care company, but was soon laid off. That didn&rsquo;t stop her. She started volunteering at several places including the public library running teaching kitchens, local churches serving women and children experiencing homelessness, and at a transitional housing complex. &ldquo;Miner estimates she's led between 30 to 40 classes from various groups and says the fulfillment it brings her is unmatched.&rdquo; "And it's just left me feeling a lot more satisfied, to be quite honest, than really anything that I've done professionally, even in the emergency department."</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10472-68efce19390af.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10472-68efce19390af.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Nancy Roof</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>An 85-Year-Old's Guide to Friendship</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10473</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10473</guid> <description>Meet Gerry, the 85-year-old friendship connoisseur whose advice for a friend 36 years his younger is to "never lose a friend".&nbsp;In an age where loneliness rivals smoking as a health risk, Gerry tirelessly cultivates the joy of sharing presence with someone, reminding us to treat our friendships as something we actively create, rather than passively inhabit. Instead of waiting for friendships to bloom naturally, Gerry's lovingly disarming outreach emphasizes that "people are always interested in people who are interested in them." As many grapple with our modern-day epidemic of loneliness, Gerry's ebullient interest in others serves as a warm nudge to nurture friendships in real life rather than disappearing behind a screen. After all, research has found that a core element of health and happiness in life comes from solid, healthy relationships.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10473-68edb0fa28542.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10473-68edb0fa28542.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Gerry</dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Baker Delivers Birthday Cakes To Homeless: 'They're Our Neighbors'</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10464</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10464</guid> <description>Manolo Betancur, owner of Manolo&rsquo;s Bakery in Charlotte, North Carolina, is on a mission to spread joy through his cakes. For over 12 years, he&rsquo;s been donating birthday cakes to those experiencing homelessness, whom he affectionately calls his neighbors. Immigrating to the U.S. over a quarter of a century ago, Betancur now blends his passion for baking with a heart of service. Having delivered his 300th cake this year, Betancur recalled an experience that fuels his service through sweets: a recent recipient of his birthday cake cried, explaining that it was the first time he had had a birthday cake in his life. "That [was] the most important cake in this bakery," Betancur stated. His cakes, sometimes filled with peaches or caramel, are more than desserts &mdash; they're symbols of dignity and celebration of life and humanity.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10464-68eb0c5534edf.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10464-68eb0c5534edf.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Helen Keller</dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>How a Floating Post Office Weaves Connection</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10471</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10471</guid> <description>On Kashmir&rsquo;s Dal Lake, a unique floating post office defies the digital age, carrying letters and weaving connections for over 70 years. It&rsquo;s a sanctuary where memories sail through calm waters, telling a story of resilience and tradition. As tourists mail postcards and locals drop off parcels, they participate in a ritual that nostalgia refuses to let go. "Even during the toughest times, this post office never lost its charm," reflects Bashir Ahmad Kuloo, a dedicated boatman. Here, where art and postal history intertwine, visitors take home more than souvenirs&mdash;they capture a piece of living heritage.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10471-68e7404b136f8.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10471-68e7404b136f8.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Abdul Hameed Tantray</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Why Some Countries Are Happier Than Their Wealth Suggests</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10467</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10467</guid> <description>The World Happiness Report that ranks countries by &ldquo;happiness&rdquo; is published each year, and often sparks &ldquo;national pride, disappointment, debate, or even competition.&rdquo; Some question the report&rsquo;s data collection and economic focus.
