Can we change the world with kindness? Perhaps!
posted by Duncan Cooke on 14th April
What have you done today that could make the world a better place? If someone asked me this, I would honestly have to say ‘Nothing.’ Perhaps, like most of us, you would answer the same. But not Luke Cameron, from Gloucestershire, in England, who decided to improve the world around him, one kind action at a time.
In a year-long project, Luke did one generous, thoughtful thing a day – 365 good deeds in all. He made it easier by starting small on 1st January, when he wished the shop assistant who served him a ‘Happy New Year’. He moved on to buying food for homeless people and baking cakes for friends. He also supported his elderly neighbours by taking out their rubbish. To celebrate the last day of the year, he gave away £365, in £5 notes, to strangers in his local town centre.
Luke created a website, thegooddeeddiary.com, to keep a record of all the things he did. During the year, he spent over £3,000 on other people – sometimes buying gifts or meals, sometimes donating money or clothes to charity. He also gave up his time to help people and become their friend.
Luke’s kindness made him famous, and by the end of the year, his story was in The Independent newspaper. Now, he’s got a fantastic new job, advising charities about how to raise money and help other people. Luke hoped that his story might encourage people to be kinder. What do you think?
