## Caption

A $5,000 act of kindness grew into 50,000 trees. 🌱⁣
⁣
27 years ago, an American teacher helped a Chinese woman turn a desert into a forest.⁣
⁣
What grew alongside the trees was an extraordinary friendship between two people from opposite sides of the world.⁣
⁣
Their story serves to remind us that where there are borders, there are people to build bridges too. ⁣
