It’s official: The Australian chapter of Pass it Forward is coming of age. As of today, over one and a half thousand people have visited our web site and read well over five thousand pages. Our goal when we started the movement was ambitious (to inspire 1 million acts of kindness by the year 2012 that would otherwise not have happened), and we are probably a long way from achieving it; yet it is undeniable that the continuous energy put into the movement has generated a momentum of its own.

It is not surprising then that in the December edition of Reader’s Digest an article mentioned our movement and published some of our ideas. The article was entitled “Why Kindness is Good for you”, and made the case for acquiring the habit of giving in our daily lives.

I have scanned the article and posted it in the images below; to enlarge so that you can read it, simply click on each of the images.
