"I am his hands. He is my eyes." 2 Men, 10,000 Trees.

So today when things get too heavy to handle and you are feeling like the weight of the World is on your shoulders and yours alone, remember these guys.

This is the relationship between Jia Haixa and his friend Jia Wenqi. Haixa is completely blind in both eyes and Wenqi is a double amputee. Thepair work together to plant trees in Yeli village, just outside of Shijiazhuang city in northern China.

"What're we going to do today, eyes?" "The same thing we do every day, arms; save the world."

Their goal? 1,000 trees every year. So far? 10,000 trees!

By the work these 2 are doing I'd say they are more than one person.

Beautiful. I must confess it brough some tears to my eyes - the joy of seeing that not all in the World is lost.
