Our Random Acts of Kindness

PRESENTING.

 Our Random Acts of Kindness T-Shirts!! They're finally here! And just in time for the holiday season :]

FROM NOW UNTIL CHIRSTMAS, any 1st edition Spread Love Like Fire shirt purchased on the online store will raise money towards UNICEF's ongoing project to help fight the massive amount of Cholera spreading through ravaged Haiti.

40% of every purchase will be donated to UNICEF, and the remaining will go towards O.R.A.K., thus these T-Shirts are truly charitable purchases.

They make great gifts and are an extremely potent way to spread the word about Our Random Acts of Kindness. Check them out at the store.

This is exciting.

November 25th, 2010, is henceforth and officially the Kindness and/or Love status day!

The 25th is the day where you, yes you, post a status of either the Facebook or Twitter variety dedicated to Kindness and/or Love spreading.

The status can be a quote, a song lyric, a thought, something you made up, your opinion, a story, whatever you want! The point is that the love will spread due to these postings of statusings.

It's gonna be awesome.

The goal is to spread the awareness of not just O.R.A.K. but acts of kindness and generosity in general. We want people to open their eyes to the burgeoning revolution of love-spreaders all across the globe.

I recommend :

"Spread Love Like Fire"

"Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see."

"The moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you act in the spirit of love."

A quick little project for you to undertake.

Tumblerer angrydiamond recently submitted a post asking for followers to sign a petition to help save the 3,200 tigers left in the wild. Something around 40,000 signatures are still needed, so here is a chance for you to do your part.

Click here to be taken to the Tiger-saving page, and feel good that you have helped in a tiny way save a tiny bit of the world's animal kingdom.

HELLO!

I have not posted a project on this website for a way too long time, but have been redesigning this website to be

the centerpiece of O.R.A.K. online activity, so hopefully this section will be filling up with projects of all shapes and sizes in the near future.

Starting off with this:

THE NOVEMBER PROJECT.

What the November project is, as you've most likely inferred from the incredibly-out-of-focus camera, is performing an act of kindness and documenting it every single day of November.

Actions ranging from post-it compliments to origami cranes to flower-handing-outs to anonymous notes to free hug t-shirts to picking up trash to planting a tree to donating to a charity to anonymous compliments to helping a friend or neighboor to ANYTHING KINDNESS RELATED.

The goal is to see if you can perform an action a day for a month, and then see where it got you after 30 days of love.

are you up to it?

I'll be posting my acts on the blog because I am really into the whole idea of documenting: if you yourself end up documenting your actions, make sure to let us know! We'd love to see what you do.
