Monday Kindness: August 19, 2019

"Be the change you want to see in the world." How many of you have seen these words by Gandhi? Now for the hard question, how many of you have actually taken action?
​
We've all been guilty of complaining about the way things should be or should not be, and sometimes we are just venting but, there comes a time when you have to decide to make a change.

Last week, we told you about our plan to help spread more kindness in the world through various weekly challenges. Today, our team is taking action and being apart of the change we want to see in the world.

Our Founder, Justina Bryant, often asks students and teachers, "Are YOU willing to make a change? Are YOU willing to step forward and be the person who is kind to others? Do YOU want to make a change at your school? Do YOU want to help your school become a kinder place to be? If yes, then YOU must begin with you. Don't tell others to be kind; show them kindness first."

Now the 21 Day Kindness Challenge team asks you, are YOU willing to step up and make your world a kinder place? If yes, then do ALL of the following acts of kindness this week.
