| “After the verb “to love,” the verb, “to help” is the most beautiful verb in the world.” — Bertha Von Suttner |

 “I am a special education teacher in a primary school. I try to teach the childrenin my class about kindness and compassion. I reward random acts of kindness that happen in my classroom. When a student does something to help one of their peers, out of the goodnes of their heart, I will acknowledge it and let them go in to my ‘kindness box’ to pull out a little surpise. The students get excited when someone is recognized for being kind and they congratulate that child for caring enought to help someone else. It is amazing how the children in my classroom are always well behaved and have a caring nature from just being kind.” — mpg85

| “I feel that kindness should be every day not just once a year or for the Holidays. Every day is a good day to help put a smile on someone’s face. There are chances daily, to buy someone a hot meal, coffee, help them with a bill, babysit, donate gently used clothes. Buying tickets for a needy family to the circus, all sort of ideas are out there, and not just during the giving season once per year…” — Awannabeangel |
