Silver Kite "Acts of kite'ness"

There is a company called Silver Kite Community Arts Consulting, and they are creating a pretty amazing project. They are currently in the middle of their "Act of kite'ness" campaign, and they want our help! What this campaign is, is a collection of photos showing yourself, or others, performing random acts of kindness. If you capture a photo of a random act of kindness being performed tweet it, or post it on Facebook, and include a description along with the hashtag #ActofKiteness "In your #ActsofKiteness photo, Silver Kite encourages you to be as creative as possible, and incorporate the arts in your image. Think about how empathy and kindness through the arts brings about change in the communities. " says Tori Green, marketing intern. Silver Kite will be collecting the photos through October 16th, so be sure to share. For more information visit: http://www.silverkiteconsulting.com/ and remember, "A photo is worth 1,000 words".

Random Act of Kindness #53- Lessons

I play softball, and several months ago a parent asked me if I would give their little girl pitching lessons. At first I was hesitant, because I did not think I would be the best at it. Well, I gave it a shot and and here we are now... I'm still giving her lessons, and I even started helping out other girls on her team. I've learned that the knowledge you have isn't meant for just you, it is meant to be shared with others. She is such a talented player, and I am glad I got the opportunity to work with her. I guess you can say we both have taught each other a lot.

Simply, I'm Here

I received a story from Robb about a very incredible organization ran by his girlfriend and himself. He says that previously he ran an organization called Postcards from Farr Away. How it worked was friendly strangers would send in a nice letter on a postcard and they would send them off to other strangers to brighten their day. He says, "After three years of operations the organization served over 10,000 people in 40 different countries on 6 different continents." It's easy to assume that this organization was a lot to manage, and after a while Robb was unable to keep up due to other commitments. "Since then, there has been a missing piece in my heart for some time. Most people fondly recall postcards and they ask me when I'll bring it back."  Well, Robb and his girlfriend, Lily, have started up a new organization with the same idea. Simple, I'm here is the name. It has the same focus, except now it's internet based. All you do is type out a nice letter and sign it with #simplyimhere . "We can then quickly scan the internet for messages with these hashtags, hand write the messages onto postcards, and mail them out to strangers" Robb explains. They are starting this out on Twitter first, and depending on it's success, will look at expanding. Be sure to check them out and give them a follow! It's a great organization!

"Lily came up with the name for Simply, I'm Here. She wanted a name that spoke to the mission of what we were doing. The name hopefully will remind people that there are people out there for them. That no matter where they are at, there are people around them that love them. That they are apart of humanity's love story. That people are here for them."
