SIR,

Amidst all the carnage and the chaos that ripped through Cardiff last Friday, their is one little story that restores your faith in human kindness.

In the early evening, a group of students arrived at the Accident and Emergency department at the Heath Hospital, they were weighed down with bags of food and drink.

Having seen the events unfold on telly, they had gone to the shops, and with their own money had bought enough food to feed a small army.

They had figured that the people involved would be too busy to stop, so they had brought something for them to eat.

It was for the doctors, nurses, paramedics, family relatives, police, fire and rescue. It was for everyone.

A small act of spontaneous kindness by a group of students who 'just wanted to do something to help'.

Having delivered the food, they hung around 'in case you needed blood donations'.

It was a bad day in Cardiff last Friday, but little things like this are so very important. They provide hope in the middle of all the despair.

There are a great many good people out there but it seems we only get to hear about the bad, which is why this simple story needs to be shared.
