Planting the Seed of Kindness

While I aspire to encourage people around me to engage in acts of random kindness, I do not define for them what is an act of kindness. Neither do I come out with a "Top 1000 Acts of Kindness" manual for anyone to follow. I believe this is totally unnecessary because kindness can come in any forms, at any place or happen any time. What I hope to achieve is to influence people to embrace kindness in their heart because when they do so, the opportunities to be kind are limitless. My friends, I hope you can plant this seed of kindness in your heart and nurture it regularly with more acts of kindness and soon it will grow into a strong tree of kindness. You will be amazed by how much kindness you can give when you let the kindness in your heart lead the way.

I would like to share this article on inspiring acts of kindness, whereby Loga and his friends came together to raise funds for need families so that these folks can have a very special festive celebration. With the money gathered, they bought festive goodies, simple deco and gave Ang Pows to the needy families. Initially, they had wanted to reach out to 20 families by raising $2,000. However, within 16 hours of appeal, the group of friends received almost $10,000 in donation and kind from family, friends and good-hearted Samaritans. Therefore, Loga and his friends reached out to 70 families by distributing festive packs and gave out $50 cash/ voucher per family island wide. Their amazing acts of kindness and volunteerism did not stop there because they helped to clean several homes and bought 28 pairs of shoes for boys from Ramakrishna Boys Home. If we want to see how far kindness can bring us to, this is a perfect example.

Thumbs Up for all the acts of kindness and Great Work Guys! You have made all your loved ones proud of you.
