When driving across the countryside in Cuba, I noticed these three standing next to these massive bulls tied to a tree. I was very intrigued and asked the driver to stop to get their photograph and say hello.

They were very kind and happily posed and when I was leaving I asked "Is there anything I can do for you? Any way I can help?"

They didn't hesitate and quickly said "Do you have any shampoo?"

Literally just that morning, I had bought a bottle of shampoo because I knew I would be traveling. I ran back to the car, got it and gave it to them.

It was a $3 bottle of shampoo.

They held it and stared at it for a minute. I just stood there next to them and watched them keep staring at it. Finally, the mom came over from their yard, took the bottle from them, looked at me and said "Because of this, we will be able to wash our children's hair again."

Never underestimate the small things we can all do for others that can make a big difference in making their life better. All it takes is asking to be surprised by the humble requests and appreciation that comes in just sharing in their lives with them.

Let's make this world a better place together.
