Random Acts of Kindness Week is February 13th thru the 19th here in the United States and Canada.
The Random Acts of Kindness™ Foundation is the official organization of the kindness movement , whose aim is to help everyone create a better world by spreading awareness and increasing engagement in kind actions.
The Random Acts of Kindness™ Foundation is international, with kindness days and weeks sponsored around the globe. They provide free educational and community ideas, guidance, and other resources to promote kindness.
Research shows that tiny acts of kindness ripple exponentially across social experiences - essentially sparking a contagiousness of generosity and cooperativeness. Simple stated, a single kind act influences dozens more.
So be kind and pay it forward!
