The Great Kindness challenge began when a group of kids from Carlsbad, California were inspired to make the world a better place. In 2006, Danielle Gram and Jill McManigal co-founded Kids for Peace. Starting off small, this network has grown worldwide with over 33 thousand schools joining in.

According to the Great Kindness Challenge’s website, their main goal is, “To create a culture of kindness for all.” This network looks towards helping kids all around the world. Pre K-12 students can participate throughout the week by showing random acts of kindness. Be sure to use the hashtag #KindnessMattersEverywhere if you catch someone sharing kindness.

Here’s a list of random acts of kindness that you can do any day of the week.

• Hold the door open for someone
• Say hi to someone in the hall
• Give a compliment to someone
• Sit with someone who is lonely
• Buy the person behind you a drink or treat
• Get someone a small gift
• Do a household chore without being asked
• Write a note and give it to someone
• Visit your grandparents
• Say thank you to your teachers
  

Fresno Christian staff, leadership, and The Feather all encourage you to join in on The Great Kindness Challenge to build each other up.
