Vladimir Tchachenok and Valeri Kodemtchouk.

Vladimir Tchachenok and Valeri Kodemtchouk. Their names will not mean anything to you. These men are however the first official victims of the explosion of the Soviet nuclear power plant of Chernobyl (Ukraine). Both were part of the handful of firefighters who came to extinguish a fire that they thought was commonplace. The first was extracted from the rubble, burned and irradiated, before indicating in a last breath where his colleague was standing.

The firemen are part of an army of unfortunate people, called "liquidators", who will follow one another on the site of the power plant and around - where an exclusion perimeter of 30 kilometers has been decided - in order to decontaminate everything.

The firefighters respond to the scene without special equipment. However, nuclear materials cannot be extinguished with water. The firemen, seriously irradiated, were evacuated and most of them died.

They are heroes because thanks to their action as "liquidators" they have allowed the radiation not to spread beyond the delimited area, which allowed to save a great number of lives, to avoid another explosion and that the food or water is not contaminated which would have had as a consequence that people would have had an easier time developing cancer.

13 peoples from the plant and 15 firemen died as a result of the Chernobyl accident through direct contact with radiation. 15 civilians died of cancer due to radiation exposure

In the week following the accident, the Soviet authorities evacuated more than 135,000 people from the surrounding communities, who had to be relocated later.

Photos of Chernobyl firefighters are exhibited in the Chernobyl Museum in Kiev.

For us, a hero is a person of courage or ability, admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities. A person who has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act, like helping people or animals in any way shape or form. Anyone can become a hero, be it a man, a woman, or even a kid or a dog, as we’ll be seeing today.

Gavin Keeney, a 10 year old boy from Oklahoma, saved his mom from drowning after she had a seizure.

Gavin was drying off on the poarch of his house when he heard a splash. His mom, Lori Keeney, who was swimming by herself in the pool, began convulsing and started to drown. As their security camera footage shows, he runs over to help, jumps in the water and takes her to the ladder while keeping her head above the water so she could breathe, keeping her safe until her father finally arrived to help.

Afterwards, Gavin’s mom says she is very proud of him but also heartbroken and fearful while seeing the footage.

Gavin was awarded a “Saving a Life” plaque by the local police and fire department, in front of all his classmates. Lori Keeney, Gavin’s mom, said he is used to helping her with her seizures and actually saved her life once before, and so she’s glad he’s getting some recognition.

Here is another case, this one on a dog that stops traffic to save her seizing owner.

Haley Moore had taken her dog Clover for a walk through the neighbourhood of Stittsville, Ottawa, when she suffered a sudden seizure.

Footage of the incident, from a neighbour’s security camera, shows Ms Moore walking with Clover on the side of the road when she appeared to stumble and fall onto a driveway. Clover, a large white Maremma mix, immediately checks on her owner and stands guard over her. Shortly after a first car passed, a second vehicle approaches from the other direction and Clover springs into action, moving into the middle of the road to block the driver’s path and forcing him to stop. The driver who stopped exited his truck and went to check on Ms Moore, with the dog keeping a close eye on him.

Clover caught the attention of a second neighbour, who called 911, before running to Ms Moore’s home to get more help from her parents.The paramedics arrived shortly after and Ms Moore recovered from the incident, but it is still not known what caused the seizure. However, she is confident that if that ends up happening again Clover would be there to keep her safe. According to Mr Moore, Clover was rewarded for her quick action in saving her owner with steaks. He initially thought the steaks were for his dinner when his wife Diane returned home with them, but she told him: “No, it’s for Clover for doing such a great job.”

These were two of our heroes, courageous, altruistic and most of all, kind hearted.

Khutulun represents strenght with how she fights.

On the front she was fighting with her body and only her body.

She was fighting men with only her body and her intelligence.

Hurriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross, c. March 1822[1] – March 10, 1913) was an American abolitionist and social activist. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends,[2] using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. During the American Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the Union Army. In her later years, Tubman was an activist in the movement for women's suffrage.

Born enslaved in Dorchester County, Maryland, Tubman was beaten and whipped by her various masters as a child. Early in life, she suffered a traumatic head wound when an irate overseer threw a heavy metal weight intending to hit another enslaved person, but hit her instead. The injury caused dizziness, pain, and spells of hypersomnia, which occurred throughout her life. After her injury, Tubman began experiencing strange visions and vivid dreams, which she ascribed to premonitions from God. These experiences, combined with her Methodist upbringing, led her to become devoutly religious.

In 1849, Tubman escaped to Philadelphia, only to return to Maryland to rescue her family soon after. Slowly, one group at a time, she brought relatives with her out of the state, and eventually guided dozens of other enslaved people to freedom. Traveling by night and in extreme secrecy, Tubman (or "Moses", as she was called) "never lost a passenger".[3] After the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was passed, she helped guide fugitives farther north into British North America (Canada), and helped newly freed enslaved people find work.

When the Civil War began, Tubman worked for the Union Army, first as a cook and nurse, and then as an armed scout and spy. The first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war, she guided the raid at Combahee Ferry, which liberated more than 700 enslaved people. After the war, she retired to the family home on property she had purchased in 1859 in Auburn, New York, where she cared for her aging parents. She was active in the women's suffrage movement until illness overtook her, and she had to be admitted to a home for elderly African Americans that she had helped to establish years earlier. She became an icon of courage and freedom.

In August 2018, a 13-year-old teenager, thanks to his courage and his paddle, saved the lives of two adults. The latter were drowning in La Croix-Valmer, in the Var.

The young man is a hero. A modern-day hero, rather. Bastien did something incredible for his young age. Indeed, while on holiday, the teenager did not hesitate to save two drowning adults.

The young man was on his paddle when a swimmer called him.

The young boy did not hesitate to help strangers in need. "He said to me 'I need your help, there is someone drowning'," Bastien explained.

At that moment, the young hero reached the person in question, a man in his forties. The 13-year-old boy does not think. The man in question was actually trying to end his life. Indeed, he had hung a bucket full of stones around his neck ! Even though Bastien has trouble pulling it up, he finally manages to do so and lifts it onto the rocks beside them.

But he quickly goes back to the first swimmer who had given the alert. Indeed, the latter also seemed to be having difficulty swimming.

Finally, the second man managed to hold on to the young man's paddle. They will be safe until the end.

This young hero was congratulated by the fire brigade and the lifeguards at sea. He even received the medal of the town of La Croix-Valmer for his heroic act.

Now, our next heroes, of the world war two: Between June 18 and 25, 1940, 9 French alpine fighters killed 5000 Italian soldiers during the battle of Pont Saint-Louis

At midnight on June 10, 1940, the phony war came to an abrupt end on the southeast front. After months of inaction, Italy finally decided to launch an offensive on the French Alps. The casemate on the Pont Saint-Louis was on the front line, yet the atmosphere was calm. Messages were sent to invite the French to surrender, while everywhere else, the fighting continued.

Behind the reinforced concrete walls, the nine men  were awaiting their orders. Buried in 12m2, they heard Pétain through their radio, their only link with the outside world. The Marshall called for a halt to the fighting. Although they no longer had running water and rationing had stopped, the soldiers were relieved by this news. But they will not leave their positions without direct orders from their superiors. The war is not over.

In fact, the conflict had just begun for them. On 20 June at 8.00 am, seven Italians appeared on the other side of the bridge. They were greeted by gunfire from the alpine hunter Guzzi outside. Shortly afterwards, the armored gate was definitively locked as two hundred attackers launched an offensive.

A shell exploded in front of the casemate, followed by a deluge of bullets. At the control of a machine-gun, Private Pétrillo returned fire but the weapon soon jammed. The enemy had to be prevented from crossing the bridge barrier at all costs. Otherwise, the fighters would no longer have a clear shot. Surrounded, the casemate would become their tomb. Support was requested from the artillery positioned at Cap Martin. The bombardment repelled the attackers. Such resistance was unexpected.

The next day, around noon, Italian was heard from outside the casemate. The enemy was very close. A dozen men, led by an officer, surrounded the building.

The French machine gun eventually pushed them back. On June 22, now assured of the French determination to defend the bridge, the enemy concentrated on other fronts. Deploying the bulk of its forces, it invaded Menton. The Pont Saint-Louis casemate, the last French defense, was isolated.

On 23 June, the radio stopped working. But the fighters did not give up. They slid their grenades into the chutes. Firing their anti-tank guns, they blocked the way of the armored tanks.

But on 25 June, calm fell on the whole front.  The armistice had been signed.

At the other end of the bridge, the white flag was raised. 150 Italian soldiers paraded to celebrate their victory. Incredulous, Second Lieutenant Charles Gros finally came out of the pillbox to lay down his arms. Saluted by the enemy, the last nine defenders were cited in the Army Order.

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was born on February 4  1913, she died on October 24 2005. She was an American activist in the civil rights movement best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery bus boycott. The United States Congress has honored her as "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement". On December 1 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks rejected bus driver James F. Blake's order to vacate a row of four seats in the "colored" section in favor of a White passenger, once the "White" section was filled. Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation, but the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) believed that she was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience in violating Alabama segregation laws, and she helped inspire the Black community to boycott the Montgomery buses for over a year. The case became bogged down in the state courts, but the federal Montgomery bus lawsuit Browder v. Gayle resulted in a November 1956 decision that bus segregation is unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

For me, a hero is distinguished by his outstanding qualities: moral qualities such as courage, generosity, sense of justice but also by his actions. He rarely fights for himself, for his own glory: he defends values, his country or a person he loves.

A leading figure of the Resistance during the Second World War, Jean Moulin was the youngest prefect in France in 1937. He opposed the German occupier from 1940 and created, under the aegis of General de Gaulle, the National Council of the Resistance. Tortured by the Gestapo, he died on July 8, 1943 in the train that took him to Germany.

Jean Moulin, born on June 20, 1899 in Béziers, studied law at the University of Montpellier. At the end of the First World War, he entered the prefectural administration, for which he became an example, before becoming its flag bearer. A man of many gifts, a scholar, a talented painter, a prestigious administrator, he showed a sovereign ease in all the fields of the mind and knew how to make himself loved by those who approached him, by his simplicity, his courtesy, and his passionate idealism.

For me Jean Moulin is a hero because he fought for peace and freedom of France against Nazi Germany. He never gave up his ideals until his last breath.

A hero of everyday

We want to present to you the Melyna’s uncle, Yoann, because he is a heroe. When he was teenage boy, he went to the Mali for a humanitarian mission. It’s generally refers to a volunteer project abroad in the social field aimed at contributing to the common good : education, health, social justice…  The objective of this mission was to build housing for nurses better living conditions and attract more nurses to come because there is a need for more caregivers in this country is rather precarious

Mali is a state in West Africa, and has often been confronted with difficulties: recurrent droughts and famines, dictatorships ect…

This project was organized with the ile de France and the town hall of his city thanks to the association Prevert. So he went to Mali for a month and he found that people had a simple life and that they were more united. He realized that in life there are many futile things like the phone that ultimately does not allow him to fully enjoy life. He slept in a hut, on the floor and it was a strange experience because  he always had the habit of sleeping in a bed .

When he returned from his trip he felt happy to have done a good deed and to have helped the Malians and the nurses just because he wanted to and not out of obligation. . He is a real heroe.

Fun fact, it was so hot in this country that in the morning, when it was 26 degrees, the children wore a down jacket because for them the temperature was not warm enough.

Our unsung hero

Richard

Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first African American woman to receive a Medical Degree (MD) in the US, Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler fought the prejudice that forbid African Americans and women from doing a medical careers. Dr. Crumpler and her life story is still being written.

Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler was born in 1831 in Christiana. Her childhood was spent with an aunt in Pennsylvania. Her aunt frequently help sick neighbors, and Crumpler accompanied her aunt on her workplace. In her book, she published in 1883 these experiences who inspired her to go into medicine.

By 1852, Crumpler had moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the 1850s, there was no school where one could become licensed as a nurse (the first one opened in 1873), so she performed her medical duties without any formal education. Crumpler assisted several doctors in the Boston area for eight years. Her in life in Massachusetts ; Crumpler married Wyatt Lee, a Virginia laborer, in 1852 in Charlestown.

In 1860, Crumpler became the first African American woman accepted to the New England Female Medical College in Boston. The College, established in 1848, was the first to award women. It was also unique in that it allowed Crumpler to attend as most medical schools barred all African Americans both men and women from attending. Crumpler worked diligently at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to attend to her sick husband. After Wyatt died of tuberculosis in April 1863, Crumpler asked to re-enroll. Some of the faculty expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to finish her studies and were hesitant to let her come back, but several of the school’s patrons—who were all abolitionists advocated for Crumpler. On March 1, 1864, Crumpler received a “Doctress of Medicine” from the New England Female Medical College. She was 33 years old. She remains the only African American woman to receive a medical degree from the school, since in 1874 it merged with Boston University Medical School. Dr. Crumpler began practicing medicine in Boston. According to historian Vanessa Northington Gamble, at the time Dr. Crumpler received her degree, there were 54,543 physicians in the country; 270 of them were women all white and 180 were African American men.

In 1865, Dr. Crumpler married Arthur Crumpler in Boston. Arthur was a fugitive slave who had arrived in Boston in 1862 and then served in the Union Army during the Civil War. The Crumplers would have one daughter, Lizzie Sinclair Crumpler, in 1870, but it is believed she died young. Arthur would go on to work as a porter at West Newton English and Classical School. Arthur was also a student, taking night classes to learn to read and write at age 74. In 1891, the Boston Globe reported these classes made him the oldest student in Boston. Arthur died in 1910.

Dr. Crumpler received her degree just as the Civil War was ending. Millions of newly emancipated African Americans were in need of support, including medical care, and Dr. Crumpler wanted to help. The Crumplers went to Richmond where she worked with the Freedmen’s Bureau and other charity and missionary groups to care for formerly enslaved men, women, and children. The majority of her patients had no access to medical care beyond what the Freedmen’s Bureau and volunteers were willing to provide due to poverty, lack of resources, lack of connections, and racism. Dr. Crumpler felt Richmond would be "a proper field for real missionary work, and one that would present ample opportunities to become acquainted with the diseases of women and children." Dr. Crumpler continued to work despite the extreme sexism, racism, and rudeness she experienced from colleagues and others to treat her patients. The discrimination these African American patients experienced encouraged an increasing number of African Americans to pursue medicine.

The Crumplers returned to Boston in the late 1860s where Dr. Crumpler continued practicing medicine. Moving to Beacon Hill, a mainly African American neighborhood at the time, Dr. Crumpler saw patients in and around her house on Joy Street. She treated her patients regardless of their ability to pay. She also treated patients despite her troubles getting prescriptions filled by pharmacists, ridicule from administrators and doctors, and no admitting privileges to local hospitals because of her race. In 1880, the Crumplers moved to the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston where Dr. Crumpler stopped practicing. In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. It described Dr. Crumpler’s experience as a doctor and covered topics such as maternal and child health, pregnancy, nursing, and teething. Scientific American magazine describes it as the forerunner to the famous What to Expect When You’re Expecting (1984).

Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler died of tumors on March 9, 1895, at age 64. She was buried in Fairview Cemetery in the Hyde Park neighborhood without a headstone. In 2019, a fund-raising campaign was started to give both Dr. Crumpler and Arthur, who was buried next to her, headstones; 125 years after her death, in 2020, those headstones were installed. Due to her work, Virginia’s governor declared March 30, 2019 “Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler Day.” Her Beacon Hill home is now a stop on the Boston Women’s Heritage Trail and one of the first medical communities for African American women is named the Rebecca Lee Society. Today, only 2% of practicing physicians identify as African American women.

There are no surviving pictures of Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler. Her perseverance and dedication to those in need still serves as an inspiration.

James Harrison is an 81-year-old Australian who is making a lot of news. He has just retired as a blood donor. But Harrison is not just a blood donor and , nicknamed the man with the golden arm Thanks to his blood, the man has been able to save more than two million infants in the country

The story begins in 1951, James Harrison is only 14 years old, yet he has just undergone major chest surgery that forces surgeons to remove a lung. When he learns that his survival is due to the many transfusions he has received, he decides to become a donor himself and save lives. But why is James Harrison's blood so special? The antibody it naturally produces prevents haemolytic disease in newborns.

When the mother is Rh negative and her baby (still in the womb) is Rh positive, an adverse reaction occurs. At that time, Australian law did not allow minors to donate blood and James had to wait four years before he could do so. Doctors discovered that his plasma contained the antibodies needed to make an injection that would save the lives of thousands of babies. Until 1967, 17% of pregnant women were affected by haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), causing thousands of infant deaths. This disease causes miscarriages or the birth of babies with severe brain damage. This injection has proven to be effective in 99% of cases.

With a total of 1,173 plasma donations

Since blood plasma can be donated every 2 weeks, he made his 1000th donation in May 2011. he has donated blood on average once every 3 weeks for 57 years

On the occasion of World Blood Donor Day on 14 June, let's take a leaf out of James Harrison's book: let's give blood too.

Ironically, James Harrison had a panic fear of needles. But he made a promise to himself that was bigger and more important than any fear.

Finally we are going to describe this picture, its a picture of his last blood test. It happened the 11 may of 2018 in a local of the red cross. He looks happy and proud of this latest catch and hopes that this record he brought will be broken to help the population.

« It all started with one front yard lemonade stand. »

We are going to tell you the story of our Unsung heroine.

Her name is Alexandra Scott, or « Alex », she was born in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996.

Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.

On her first birthday, doctors informed Alex's parents, that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again.

By her second birthday, Alex was crawling and able to stand up with leg braces. She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be beating the odds, but the next year, her tumors had started growing again.

In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant and informed her mother, "when I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand." She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to "help other kids, like they helped me." True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with her older brother and raised an amazing $2,000 for "her hospital."

While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex and her family continued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to benefit childhood cancer research. News spread of the remarkable sick child dedicated to helping other sick children. People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the proceeds to Alex and her cause.

Shortly before her death in august of 2004, Alex set a remarkable goal: she wanted to raise $1 million.

Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex's family, friends and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring legacy through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

About Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, has raised more than $55 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding over 250 pediatric cancer research projects nationally.

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation has grown into a Foundation that has raised more than $250 million for childhood cancer and funded over 1,000 research projects that have saved the lives of kids fighting cancer with no treatment options left.

A message from Jay and Liz Scott, Alex's Parents:

Many of you think of Alex as a hero – the sweet and courageous lemonade girl who inspired others to help children with cancer. Although she did not get the chance to live a long life, she showed us what it means to live a full life. Her bravery, strength and love of life continue to inspire us every day. She is indeed our hero!

Since Alex was diagnosed in 1997, more than two million more children worldwide have suffered because of cancer. These kids all have hopes and dreams of long lives. They have parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents and cousins who cherish them. They all inspire those who know them with their bravery, strength, and love of life. They are all heroes.

“Volvo’s incredible support dates back to the company’s role in propelling Alex to achieve her dream of raising $1 million toward the battle against childhood cancer,” said Jay Scott, Alex’s dad and co-executive director of ALSF.

« A woman saves a family from house fire »

[Woman Saves Family of 6 From House Fire - Bing video]

[melty - Cette femme a sauvé la vie de ses voisins ! - Bing video]

On the January 1st of 2021, in Arizona (in United States of America), Carolyn PALISCH helped saving her neighbours. She is a nurse of sixty-three years old, and one morning she woked up early and saw some smoke from the house of her neighbours. She quickly realized that the house was on fire, and she immediately tried to rescue the victims of this fire.

She wasn’t even dressed, only a bathrobe, but she didn’t care she ran to the house and banged on the door loudly to wake up her neighbours, a family of six with four children.

Then she went inside and looked for each member of the family, to make them go out one by one, before they get hurt and before the house burns. All this heroic action has been filmed by the doorbell, which had a camera.

Nicole Salgado, one of the victims, said she was glad Carolyn was so persistent and keep tried to wake up them and didn’t give up. She added that the roof of the house collapsed, and smoke invaded the interior of the house.

Carolyn stayed with the family while the firefighters were putting out the flames. She said that when Nicole had an emotional panic attack, she "activated the nurse mode”.

When the firefighters said to the family that if they weren’t gone out when they did thanks to Carolyn, they would be dead, Nicole Salgado said “We are so grateful to that angel who saved our lives”.

Usually, an unsung hero is someone who does great deeds but receives little or no recognition for them. But Carolyn received a lot of recognition: from the family but also from the entire world, because of the mediatization of the situation. A neighbor published a viral video on the social media TikTok, so many people knew the brave action. But still, that lady is a hero, because she saved lives without wanted anything back: she just did the right action in the right time.

A father and daughter barely a year old escaped what could have been a road tragedy in the middle of the storm Thursday when a complete stranger sacrificed his luxury car to protect the family vehicle mired on the side of the road in Quebec City.
Martin Bourbeau had just left his job at the Port-O-Swing dance school in the early afternoon, to find his home, earlier, to avoid the road chaos.
I slowed down as much as I could, but I sank into a snow embankment," says Martin Bourbeau.
"When he told me that his little one was there, I understood that she was the one who would eat if something happened," says Mr. Bédard.

The Good Samaritan barely had time to place his vehicle as a shield to prevent something from happening. He was getting dressed to get out when a pickup truck hit its rear wing head-on.
The protection provided by the vehicle allowed him to get his car back on the road and return to his house unscathed. :D

Vladimir Tchachenok and Valeri Kodemtchouk.

Vladimir Tchachenok and Valeri Kodemtchouk. Their names will not mean anything to you. These men are however the first official victims of the explosion of the Soviet nuclear power plant of Chernobyl (Ukraine). Both were part of the handful of firefighters who came to extinguish a fire that they thought was commonplace. The first was extracted from the rubble, burned and irradiated, before indicating in a last breath where his colleague was standing.

The firemen are part of an army of unfortunate people, called "liquidators", who will follow one another on the site of the power plant and around - where an exclusion perimeter of 30 kilometers has been decided - in order to decontaminate everything.

They are heroes because thanks to their action as "liquidators" they have allowed the radiation not to spread beyond the delimited area, which allowed to save a great number of lives, to avoid another explosion and that the food or water is not contaminated which would have had as a consequence that people would have had an easier time developing cancer.

Born into a Jewish family from Lorraine, she was deported to Auschwitz at the age of 16, during the Shoah, which is an extermination center against Jews by the Nazis at the time of the Second World War, where she lost her father, her brother and her mother. Simone Veil married Antoine Veil in 1946 and, after studying law and political science, joined the judiciary as a senior civil servant.

Why we think she’s a hero :

She created the law on Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy which represents her fight on behalf of women. In 1974, she was in charge of presenting a bill decriminalizing abortion. This text, which will earn her the thunderbolt of a part of the political class, is adopted on November 29, 1974 and comes into force on January 17, 1975.

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was born on February 4  1913, she died on October 24 2005. She was an American activist in the civil rights movement best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery bus boycott. The United States Congress has honored her as "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement". On December 1 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks rejected bus driver James F. Blake's order to vacate a row of four seats in the "colored" section in favor of a White passenger, once the "White" section was filled. Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation, but the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) believed that she was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience in violating Alabama segregation laws, and she helped inspire the Black community to boycott the Montgomery buses for over a year. The case became bogged down in the state courts, but the federal Montgomery bus lawsuit Browder v. Gayle resulted in a November 1956 decision that bus segregation is unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

21 Icons : Nelson Mandela : Short Film - YouTube

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, born 18 July 1918 in Mvezo, Cape Province, and died 5 December 2013 in Johannesburg, Gauteng, was a South African statesman. He was one of the historic leaders in the struggle against the institutionalized political system of racial segregation (apartheid) before becoming President of the Republic of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, following the first non-segregationist national elections in the country's history.
Nelson Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1943 to fight against the political domination of the white minority and the racial segregation imposed by it. He became a lawyer and took part in the non-violent struggle against the Apartheid laws introduced by the National Party government in 1948 and in a campaign of sabotage against public and military installations. On 5 August 1962, he was arrested by the South African police on the advice of the CIA and sentenced to prison and hard labour for life at the Rivonia trial. From then on, he became a symbol of the struggle for racial equality and received increasing international support.
After twenty-seven years of imprisonment in often difficult conditions and after refusing to be released in order to remain consistent with his convictions, Mandela was released on 11 February 1990. He supported reconciliation and negotiation with the government of President Frederik de Klerk. In 1993, he and de Klerk were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for jointly and peacefully ending the apartheid regime and laying the foundations for a new democratic South Africa.
After a difficult transition in which he and de Klerk avoided a civil war between the supporters of apartheid, the ANC and the Inkhata, Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa in 1994. He pursued a policy of national reconciliation between blacks and whites; he fought against economic inequalities, but neglected the fight against AIDS, which was on the rise in South Africa. After a single mandate, he retired from active political life, but continued to publicly support the African National Congress while condemning its excesses.
Subsequently involved in several anti-poverty and anti-AIDS associations, he remains a world-renowned figure in the defence of human rights. He is hailed as the father of a multi-ethnic and fully democratic South Africa, even if the country suffers from economic inequalities, social tensions and community isolationism.

The heroes during the crisis of COVID-19 :

Today we are going to tell you about three heroes, doctors who have done actions worthy of a hero.

Birma Kunwar, Emmanuel Cosmos Msoka et Judith Candiru.

Source :  The unsung pandemic heroes | UNICEF

In the morning, Judith Candiru  heads to the maternity ward where she cares for premature babies. Through UNICEF-supported training, she’s able to support sick infants and ensure they thrive.

Throughout the pandemic, after consultations and finishing her rounds on the ward, she’ll head out into the local community either on a motorbike or on foot.

Equipped with a megaphone, Candiru has been amplifying the message that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and important.

Birma Kunwar has been weaving her way up mountains and across suspended footbridges for years now. With a box of vaccines perched on her back, she ascends hilly pathways in the remote part of Nepal’s far west.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Kunwar would collect lifesaving vaccines in the town of Khalanga, which is the district headquarters of the Darchula District.

Is not only a job for her, it’s a duty.

Emmanuel Cosmos Msoka is an innovator and an activist. It’s no coincidence that the 18-year-old from Tanzania invented a crucial hygiene tool during the pandemic that has a water theme to it.

His idea: a handwashing machine that uses foot pedals to function, in turn reducing the chance of spreading the virus. Since developing the technology, he’s been able to supply over 400 handwashing stations across northern Tanzania.

The woman who saved her village from dying of starvaion:Loharano

A prolonged drought in the deep south of the island has left 1.3 million people struggling to find food and 28,000 facing starvation. Some have called it the world's first famine caused by climate change, though this has been disputed.

But Loharano's village, Tsimanananda, where she is a community leader, has been spared the worst.

Loharano's smile lights up the space around her. She is short and gentle - not the first person you would pick out as the leader in her neighbourhood.

But she quickly invites me into her compound, making me feel at home.

"We suffered a lot from hunger. We planted but it failed every time," the 43-year-old says, reflecting on a previous drought that started in 2013. But with the help of a local charity, the Agro-ecological Centre of the South (CTAS), this time things are very different.

Shortly after I arrive, Loharano leads a short class under the shade of a tree.

Armed with a poster illustrating farming techniques, she talks to her neighbours, and her husband Mandilimana, about drought-resistant crops and techniques to revitalise the soil.

The recent influential World Weather Attribution report on the drought in Madagascar, which included work from Dr Rondro Barimalala, a Malagasy climate scientist, disputed this.

Researchers found that though the recent rains have been poor and the probability of future droughts may be on the rise, the change in rainfall cannot be attributed to human impact on the climate.

Regardless of the exact cause of the lack of rain, there is no doubt that hundreds of thousands of people will be living with its impact for years to come.

Through her work to improve her village, Loharano is happy her community has avoided the disaster many are facing right now.

But it hurts her to see many more cannot be helped.

"I feel sad for them because they could die of hunger. One day, somebody had nothing and I asked her why.

"She said that they hadn't eaten since the day before. So I told her to take some of my peas and feed her kids."

These men are however the first official victims of the explosion of the Soviet nuclear power plant of Chernobyl (Ukraine). Both were part of the handful of firefighters who came to extinguish a fire that they thought was commonplace. The first was pulled from the rubble, burned and irradiated, before indicating in a last breath where his colleague was standing.

The firemen belong to an army of unfortunate people, called "liquidators", who will follow one another on the site of the power plant and around - where an exclusion perimeter of 30 kilometers was decided - in order to decontaminate everything.

It is difficult to say who invented the Internet. Many mathematicians and scientists have contributed to its development; but the Web owes much of its existence to Philip Emeagwali, a mathematical whiz who found the formula that allowed a large number of computers to communicate at the same time.

He was born into a poor family in Akure, Nigeria, in 1954. Despite his passion for mathematics, he had to drop out of school because his family, now war refugees, could no longer afford to send him to school. He earned a general education certificate from the University of London, and later degrees from George Washington University and the University of Maryland.

Having grown up in an oil-rich country and understanding how oil is drilled, he decided to make this problem the topic of his doctoral dissertation. Emeagwali decided that rather than using eight expensive supercomputers, he would use thousands of microprocessors to perform the calculation. Through his research, he found a machine called the "Connection Machine" at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and obtained permission to access this abandoned machine for nuclear experiments.

The key to his discovery was that he programmed each of the microprocessors to communicate to six neighboring microprocessors at the same time, which allowed him to speed up the process.

In addition to correctly calculating the amount of oil in the simulated reservoir, the machine was able to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second.

The success of this record-breaking experiment meant that there was now a practical and inexpensive way to use machines like this to communicate with each other around the world. Within a few years, the oil industry picked up the idea, then called the Hyperball International Network, creating a virtual global network for ultra-fast digital communication.

This discovery earned him the Gordon Bell Award from the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers in 1989, considered the Nobel Prize of computing, and he was later hailed as one of the fathers of the Internet.

Girl who sold limonade, the money goes to the children who have cancer

She also have a cancer touching only children : alexandra scott

It all started with one front yard lemonade stand.

When she was just four years old, Alex held her first childhood cancer fundraiser in her front yard and raised over $2,000. By the time of her death in 2004, Alex raised $1 million and inspired a legacy of hope and cures for childhood cancer.

Alexandra “Alex” Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.

On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex’s parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication of who she would turn out to be — a determined, courageous, confident and inspiring child with big dreams and big accomplishments.

ROCKLEIGH, N.J. – As the founding sponsor of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), Volvo Cars of North America (VCNA) is launching an ongoing giving program starting Sept. 1. With the purchase of every new Volvo, participating Volvo retailers will donate $10 to ALSF, an organization that raises money for pediatric cancer research. September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and Volvo is taking the opportunity to increase support and raise awareness for a cause close to the company’s heart.

The non-profit was started by Alexandra “Alex” Scott who, at the age of 4, held a lemonade stand to raise money to help find cures for other children with cancer. In 2004, Alex died of neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system that occurs in infants and young children. Since Alex set up her first lemonade stand in 2000, the organization has raised more than $55 million to help children with cancer.

“Volvo’s incredible support dates back to the company’s role in propelling Alex to achieve her dream of raising $1 million toward the battle against childhood cancer,” said Jay Scott, Alex’s dad and co-executive director of ALSF. “Volvo has proven that it will continue to walk alongside us as we strive to reach Alex’s mission to cure all kids’ cancer. Their willingness to donate funds per-car-sold beginning in September is only further proof of this commitment.”

“Alex and her cause have touched our employees in a very emotional way for many years now,” said VCNA President & CEO John Maloney. “With this new program, every new Volvo sold helps support her dream. Our hope is that through our collective efforts we will be able to help medical experts get closer to a cure.”

Volvo will support the program with Public Service Announcements and TV, radio and print ads. Across the country, Volvo retailers will be hosting their own lemonade stands to raise awareness and solicit donations from the local community to benefit ALSF.

Alex Scott and her lemonade stand first caught the attention of Volvo in 2002 when she received an inaugural Volvo for Life Award nomination. The awards program honored hometown heroes doing extraordinary things in their communities. Alex’s determination and unwavering support for pediatric cancer research earned her a Volvo for life Award at the 2003 ceremony in New York City. Despite her deteriorating health, Alex continued to raise money through her stands.

Shortly before her death in 2004, Alex set a remarkable goal: she wanted to raise $1 million to fight pediatric cancer. Following Alex’s inspirational example, thousands of lemonade stands and other fundraising events began popping up around the country to support her efforts. Sadly, Alex died August 1 at the age of eight, having raised an amazing $700,000. Before she died, Volvo promised to help Alex reach her $1 million goal, and along with other sponsors, the company’s employees and retailers did so in October of that year – by selling lemonade.

By the end of 2004, one little girl had made a world of difference, raising $1.5 million. To empower others to keep Alex’s legacy alive, Volvo is seeking to raise more money through their $10 Contribution Program to fund cutting-edge research projects into new treatments and cures for pediatric cancer.

About Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $55 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding over 250 pediatric cancer research projects nationally.

A message from Jay and Liz Scott, Alex's Parents:

Many of you think of Alex as a hero – the sweet and courageous lemonade girl who inspired others to help children with cancer. Although she did not get the chance to live a long life, she showed us what it means to live a full life. Her bravery, strength and love of life continue to inspire us every day. She is indeed our hero!

Since Alex was diagnosed in 1997, more than two million more children worldwide have suffered because of cancer. These kids all have hopes and dreams of long lives. They have parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents and cousins who cherish them. They all inspire those who know them with their bravery, strength, and love of life. They are all heroes.

Alexandra "Alex" Scott was born in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996. Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.

On her first birthday, doctors informed Alex's parents, Liz and Jay Scott, that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents' request to kick. This was the first indication of who she would turn out to be - a determined, courageous, confident and inspiring child with big dreams and big accomplishments.

By her second birthday, Alex was crawling and able to stand up with leg braces. She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be beating the odds, until the shattering discovery within the next year that her tumors had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant and informed her mother, "when I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand." She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to "help other kids, like they helped me." True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother, Patrick, and raised an amazing $2,000 for "her hospital."

While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex and her family – including her two younger brothers, Eddie and Joey - continued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to benefit childhood cancer research. News spread of the remarkable sick child dedicated to helping other sick children. People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the proceeds to Alex and her cause.

In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex's family, friends and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring legacy through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
