11-Day Kindness Challenge: Are You In?

Dear KindSpringers,

For the upcoming Valentine’s Day, we’re trying something different: an 11-day kindness challenge, to pay-forward our love to the world at large!

Are you ready to embark on a journey filled with love, kindness, and positivity? If so, join our Kindness Challenge starting Feb 12th: https://pod.servicespace.org/apply/kindness

In a world that can sometimes seem harsh and unforgiving, it’s more important than ever to spread kindness and positivity. That’s why we’re hosting this challenge, where together with friends from 28 countries already, we’ll make the world a kinder place, one act at a time. This challenge is open to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. Whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go, there’s always an opportunity to spread kindness. Whether you’re a seasoned kindness warrior or just looking to make a difference, you’re exactly who the world is looking for.

Also joining us, for our weekly calls, are various renowned speakers and artists – like Sharon Salzberg, author of more than a dozen books, and the rap-artist Nimo!

Our goal is simple: to participate in acts of kindness for 11 consecutive days, be inspired by each other’s stories, and to turn kindness into a habit that keeps on giving. We hope you can join us: https://pod.servicespace.org/apply/kindness

Thank you for making the world a kinder place,

KindSpring Crew

Zach Shore: Shining A Light Amidst Deep Moral Conflicts

“After an encounter on campus with a fellow blind student who had just returned from a solo excursion with seeming ease, Zachary Shore had a moment of awakening: “My problem wasn’t my blindness. It was my lack of skills and confidence.” He would indeed come to find a remarkable set of skills and confidence — eventually earning a doctorate from Oxford University, becoming a distinguished scholar of international conflict and an author of six books, and traveling to more than 30 countries, many of them as solo journeys. Zach credits his strong sense of self to the nurturance of his parents. But his ability to move freely about the world came through a rigorous and demanding training program at the Louisiana Center for the Blind (LCB) — where he made his way after his moment of awakening in college — whose requirements for graduation would challenge even the best of sighted students. Shop, prepare, and cook a meal for 40 people, all by yourself, and dont forget the entire cleanup. Accomplish a “drop route”; that is, find your way back to the LCB after being dropped in an unfamiliar location, without asking anyone, using only environmental clues like the direction of the sun. And take a solo trip to a city you’ve never visited before, with an assigned checklist of to-dos.” Learn more about his fascinating journey. { read more }
