Random Acts of Kindness Foundation

IntroductionOur personal goal is to practise kindness. Performing acts of kindness benets not onlythe receiver but the doer as well and benets both ones mental and physical health.

Volunteering to spread kindnessThe Story of Shitra Schiffer:

I saw the homeless shivering from the cold every winter. In sixth grade, a teacher offered

to bring some students to homeless shelter after school. I went with my friends and theteacher for several weeks, and I continued to volunteer my services.

I mended their clothes and they were very grateful to me. More importantly, I came toknow the people. I also started a sewing club and taught others how to sew. I continue tovolunteer at our fully-homeless shelter and it has taught me to appreciate my own talentsand gifts that I was given.

Every time it rained, I would think about the umbrellas I had sewn and suddenly, I wouldappreciate that I was lucky enough to have a home.Random Acts of Kindness Week: 9 to 15 October

Go out there and do your random acts of kindness!

Our sister foundation, The Foundation of Better Life, is offering a free set of posterspromoting positive values featuring such gures as the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, andother everyday heroes for schols and other organisations.
