5. Bookshop Sign

Depending on your age, you may not remember a time before the internet. If you don't, here's a terrifying thought for you. In those dark days, if we wanted to know something, we had to go and find a book. We couldn't stream our favorite movies either, so if there was nothing on we wanted to watch, we'd get entertainment from books, too. For centuries, books were the gateway to all human knowledge. For the poorest and most vulnerable in our society, they still are.

That's why random acts of generosity, like the one from this awesome bookshop owner, are vital. Not only are the books low cost during the day, they're free to borrow them at night, and if you can't afford to pay, you don't. This is a business owner putting his faith in humanity to do the right thing - to pay if they can afford to pay, and to bring books back when they're borrowed.
