This Afghan father walks 12 km every single day just to make sure his daughters get the education he never had.

52-year-old Saidal Rahman from Paktia brings his daughters to school every morning. Because traveling alone isn’t safe, he walks beside them through steep hills and dusty roads… and then waits outside for 4 hours until their classes finish.

He says every step is worth it if it means giving them a brighter future.

A true reminder that a parent’s love can move mountains.

Singapore’s Changi Airport, already known as one of the world’s most futuristic travel hubs, is also an engineering marvel of sustainability. Beneath its gleaming architecture lies a sophisticated rainwater harvesting system that collects and filters millions of liters of rain annually from its massive roof areas.
This system channels rainwater into underground reservoirs where it’s purified and reused for toilet flushing, cleaning, and irrigation across the airport’s lush indoor gardens — including the famous Jewel Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. The process not only cuts water waste dramatically but also eases demand on Singapore’s limited freshwater reserves.
In a city-state that imports a large portion of its water, Changi’s closed-loop system demonstrates how design and ecology can coexist beautifully. Travelers walking through the airport’s tropical oasis may not realize it, but they’re witnessing one of the most efficient urban water cycles in action — proof that even the busiest transit spaces can nurture sustainability.
