Helping Others

Introduction

In the 2019 World Athletics championships Braima Dabo was running 5000m for the first time. He had big plans for his debut.

He aimed to run as fast as he could. However, as he approached the final bend he noticed that another runner was straining to finish. Instead of sprinting past, Dabo stopped and helped him to the line.

The Task

THINK ABOUT THIS …

“What I did was something normal for me…To the world, it was an act of kindness. But to me, it was a natural and a spontaneous act. The person next to me had a goal, to finish his race. And to achieve this, he needed my help.”

– Braima Dabo

Can you think of a time when you have helped someone achieve a goal? What happened? How did it make you feel?

Can you think of someone that has helped you achieve a goal?

Let them know how they helped and thank them.
