That’s Not A Poor Farmer Checking On His Crops. You’ll Never Guess Who It Actually Is

Meet José Mujica. He may look like your average farmer or grandfather, but he is anything but. This man is globally known as the world’s “poorest President” because he lives a life of humility… all while leading the country of Uruguay. As a man who truly cares about his people, he doesn’t take an obscene amount of money to just act as a politician. He donates about 90% of his $12,000 monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs.

Other countries, listen up.

It’s not uncommon to see Jose dressed like this. He doesn’t care about money and appearances, but just leading his country.


He has literally spent his entire life fighting for his country.


He was a guerilla fighter that battled for the rights of the country’s citizens, was imprisoned twice and was shot 6 times after an escape attempt.


This is Uruguay’s Presidential Palace. He doesn’t live here.


He actually is a part-time farmer. He and his wife also grow and sell flowers. He also drives a 1987 Volkswagen Beetle.


He only has two guards positioned on his road. Along with his beloved 3-legged dog Manuela, of course.


Instead of acting like he is better than everybody else, the president of a country wholeheartedly believes that he IS like everybody else.

In a time when it seems that rich politicians rule the world, learning about Jose is truly refreshing. Please share this article with others.

What This Man Found In A Bag Of Mulch Will Blow Your Mind. What He Did With It Will Melt Your Heart.

A Florida man opened a new bag of mulch and, to his surprise, he found a baby squirrel inside.  We found the man on Reddit, where he is known by the handle “Nadtacular,” but now the Internet is starting to know him because of his compassion.  The baby squirrel appeared to be only days old when he found it.  It was so young, he initially mistook it for a mouse or rat.  But he decided to take care of it, and lucky for us, document his its development.
When he cut open the bag, this little guy fell out…

To keep it alive, he had to force feed the little fellow…

But after 2 weeks, he was eating like a champ…

By week 3, this is how he’d look after a satisfying meal…

Somewhere between weeks 4 and 5 his eyes finally opened…

By the 5th week, he was fully aware…

And getting playful…

It seemed this growing boy was always hungry…

“C’mon, just one more blueberry…”

He loves to bask in the sunlight…

As you can see from the photographs, a bond developed between the man and the squirrel, which he named “Zip.”  There is no definitive answer to how baby Zip found its way into the bag of mulch, but it’s safe to say Zip appears to be enjoying his new home.  It’s also safe to say that this man’s selfless act has restored our hope in humanity.  Way to go!
