From the Editor's Desk...
Random Act of Kindness WeekFebruary 9-15, 2009
"A random act of kindness is a purportedly selfless act
performed by a person or persons wishing to either assist or cheer up
an individual or in some cases even an animal. There will generally be
no reason other than to make people smile, or be happier. Either
spontaneous or planned in advance, random acts of kindness are
encouraged by various communities. An oft-cited example of a random act
of kindness is, when paying the toll at a toll booth on a highway, to pay the toll for the vehicle behind you as well."
- Source Wikipedia
Acts of Kindness is a site that gives ideas on how all ages can help in their community. They also have a section to search for community ideas according to where you live. You can sign up for their free newsletter too!
HelpOthers.org -- kindness is contagious. This portal is dedicated to small acts of kindness.
Lots of interesting stories and ideas!
What do you and your children have planned for Random Acts of Kindness Week? Let us know!
