Teachers regularly go above and beyond and outside of their means in order to improve the lives of their students. This often goes outside of the scope of just teaching.

They make sure their students eat, even if they don’t have lunch money.

They buy tissues and other items so that their students are comfortable. They even go out of their way to instill confidence and a sense of self-worth in their students.

A viral video of a sports teacher in Paraguay is a great example of that.

“An EPS teacher helps a handicapped student to dance. During a school party, a physical and athletic teacher allowed a physically handicapped little girl to dance with the other children,” the video’s caption reads.

“He held the little girl between her legs, laid her feet on hers and danced in rhythm on the music with the other students.”

The video shows the teacher holding her up in a harness-like contraption. They are attached together at the legs.

So, when he lifts his leg up, he is also lifting hers.

Now she’s able to dance around a play just like the rest of her classmates. This adorable little girl just cannot stop smiling. You can tell that she’s having the time of her life thanks to her teacher.

I’m pretty sure that dancing was not apart of his job description, but this teacher went above and beyond to bring a smile to his student’s face and help her to feel like one of the group.

The video ended up going viral on the internet where thousands of people applauded his act of kindness.

“This is wonderful, and this little girl will remember this man’s giant heart for the rest of her life,” one YouTuber said. ” If this happened in Los Angeles, I guarantee that this teacher would be suspended by LAUSD for inappropriate contact with a student.”

“It takes a truly SPECIAL teacher to inspire young minds beyond learning their ABC’s & 123’s,” another said.

“Look at the beautiful smile on her face,” and another. “The man did a great thing by giving her this experience.”

“Best video on the internet today.”

It really is so sweet to see how much this teacher really brightened this little girl’s day. You can watch this teacher’s adorable act of kindness in the video below.
