Three years ago, a woman gave birth to triplets at a small village clinic in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The doctor didn't have the proper medical materials to keep the babies alive, so he had to tell the parents that their newborn triplets were going to die. However, the father heard of a state-of-the-art hospital nearby made by the former NBA star, Dikembe Mutombo. They begged the doctors to call him and ask if the babies were allowed to be treated, now the triplets are thriving toddlers. This was the reason that Mutombe made the hospital in the first place, so that people in Africa could get the medical care that they need and deserve. Do you think that this random act of kindness is amazing and why?

I think that this random act of kindness is amazing because it saved three lives and it is also amazing that he spent all that money to build a hospital so everybody can get the medical care they deserve otherwise those three babies would never have a chance at life that they would never experience.
