In Los Angeles California a 70 year old woman, who is also a retired teacher, felt that she had to do something. There are many homeless in LA, but also in the world. Many are single parents with children who have no education. She saw this, and decided to change it. So, she opened a tutoring house that, with the help of kind volunteers, teaches the children who cannot go to school. Since then, they have branched out and now have 500 volunteers teaching children.
Think about that. A frail 70 year old woman did an act of kindness and made a HUGE difference in hundreds of children's lives. And yet, those of us who are young, barely act the same way, or do the same acts of kindness. In fact, the word "Kindness" has obtained a whole different meaning. True kindness in that act of doing something good for someone else without expecting anything in return, the act of doing it without having to do it.
"If a frail 70 year old woman can do an act of kindness, why can't the rest of us?"
That is my question to all of you, and to myself. I for one, am going to start to act out of kindness.
What about you?
