Caring Gesture Of 400 Students For Cancer Battling Teacher Will Melt Your Heart

A heartfelt film, produced by Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, is currently gaining widespread attention on the internet. The reason: Around four hundred pupils and teachers gathered outside the residence of their cherished instructor, Ben Ellis, in order to perform a symphony of hymns and religious songs for him. This passionate moment was captured in the video.

Ben Ellis, a dedicated educator at Christ Presbyterian Academy, was unable to leave his house as he was battling against cancer. As a demonstration of genuine affection and thoughtfulness, the students and staff members prepared a surprise visit to their beloved instructor in order to help him feel better in a manner that was truly unique.

The video was recorded a few years ago but it was re-shared on the micro blogging site X (Formerly Twitter) recently. As soon as the clip was dropped on social networking sites, this heartwarming act of compassion struck the right chord with the people across the globe.

This is not the first time, when such an act of empathy toward the cancer patient has gone viral online. A few years back, in a touching display of compassion, five-year-old Ansuya Ghosh won the hearts of many with her selfless act of kindness as she voluntarily donated her long hair to a cancer-stricken woman, offering a glimmer of hope in the midst of a challenging battle. The recipient, Sanghamitra Shaligram (50) was undergoing treatment at a cancer institute then, and had lost her hair due to chemotherapy.
