A hidden camera in Norway captured the impressive acts of kindness made by people at a bus stop when they saw a shivering 11-year-old boy with no coat.

In the video, you can see a young boy sitting on a bus stop bench and quivering from the winter cold. Many of the compassionate passers-by help the boy by giving him something to keep warm, like jackets, scarves and gloves. Although they don't know him, people's reaction is inspiring and heartwarming.

The boy is actually a volunteer actor and the video shows a social experiment conducted by SOS Mayday, part of the SOS Children’s Villages charity organization in Norway, designed to raise awareness of displaced children in Syria. The aim of the campaign is to send coats to needy refugee children that have left their homes without winter clothing.

“People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy at the bus stop. The situation in Syria is very harsh,” says Synne Ronning, a spokesperson for the group, cited by Daily News.
