Background

As described in the other web pages, being kind to others helps make the world a better place. Kindness is contagious, and can help promote a friendlier, more caring world. Taking small steps, as simple as lending a helping hand to a neighbor, can make someone's entire day. As described before, there are many different ways to promote kindness by being kind to strangers, your friends, your community, and yourself. Some examples include complimenting a stranger, picking up trash in your community, buying a friend a coffee, and donating clothing. For more examples, see the Home page. To help promote kindness, we have created the kindness contest to acknowledge extraordinary acts of kindness.
