Saffron Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/17/15972814-inspired-to-act-26acts-of-kindness-to-honor-those-lost-in-newtown-conn?lite Inspired to act: #26Acts of kindness to honor those lost in Newtown, Conn.By Ann Curry, NBC NewsNewtown's heartbreak has a lot of us asking, "What can I do?" Thinking about this, I took to Twitter and asked people to imagine what would happen if all of us committed to 20 acts of kindness to honor each child lost in Newtown. I added, "I'm in. If you are, RT #20Acts."Tens of thousands of people on Twitter and Facebook not only seized the idea, they increased it to #26Acts, to include the heroic teachers, and are launching acts of kindness big and small all over America. The acts are spreading overseas, including one tweeted from Borneo.Some changed the hashtag to #26ActsOfKindness, some wanted to increase it to 27, and 28. All good. You are in charge of this wave now.We are curating some of the acts shared so far, as a way to inspire you, and maybe help heal us all.Fred Rogers once said that when he saw scary things in the news as a boy, his mother would say, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."I gave ?26 to Celia Hammond Animal Trust. xx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27421-inspired-to-act-26acts-of-kindness-to-honor-those-lost-in-newtown-conn/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
