O.M.G! We thought we couldn't have a bigger crush on him after those naked pics, but we were wrong!

Prince Harry is visiting Africa in support of his Sentebale children's charity. He set up the organization to help African children in need with his friend and fellow prince Seeiso of Lesotho.

He just arrived Wednesday morning and has already made quite an impression!

This is some serious brotherly love.

Deaf twin brothers Marc and Eddy Verbessem were so frightened about becoming blind, they decided to undergo euthanasia to end their lives simultaneously.

The two 45-year-olds, worked as cobblers in Belgium for most of their natural lives, but were doomed to both become blind by a genetic form of glaucoma.

Neither of them could bear the thought of not seeing each other so they made a decision together to undergo euthanasia, a controversial treatment that Belgium legalized in 2002.

Hunter Spanjer is a young deaf boy whose name in sign language looks a little like finger pistols.

A little too much for Grand Island Public Schools!

The district's Zero Tolerance policy means absolutely nothing that resembles a weapon will be allowed into the school.

Including a preschooler's fingers?!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) and see if U think Hunter is dangerous!

Zero Tolerance? Come on, guys, how about just a LITTLE common sense instead!

Inspiring! Amazing! Spectacular!

Ch-ch-check out this incredible video (above) of a 2-year-old child, who's never heard his mother's voice before, literally freak out as he is able to recognize her voice after his recently received cochlear implants are turned on for the very first time.

Like the Mastercard commercials - his face is PRICELESS.

We're not going to say that if this video doesn't move you then there's something wrong with you, but if this video doesn't move you then there's DEFINITELY something wrong with you!!!

WATCH IT!!!

President Obama is such an amazing man!!

When Washington college student Stephon, who is hearing impaired, got the lucky chance to meet the President, he made sure to make it an epic moment.

And boy, did he!

As the President approached him and other fans at an event on energy policy, Stephon signed to him:

"I'm proud of you."

And Obama actually signed back, "Thank you," leaving Stephon speechless.

Watch it happen (above)!!
What a lovely surprise! And so inspirational. Such a small gesture can truly touch someone's heart.
