#27. Do a random act of kindness for someone you don't know
This one seems very hard. We tend to stay in our shells and reaching out to people we do not know is not comfortable. Last Friday, I heard about a child in our school, I do not know her, that did not have any food. She frequently comes to school dirty because mom does not have the money to buy soap. At lunch, this child devours her food as if it is the only meal she will have all day. Working part-time, I do not see these things. However, I was struck by the story I heard. Finally, I had a purpose for all the free food and health and beauty items I have acquired. When I got home, I quickly filled up a box full of items. A random box of food. A random act of kindness in less than 15 minutes.
