Hi
My name is samm, im a graphic artist here in china. Ive been a good doer to other people since i was a kid, that is what i my parents taught me to be. but when i came here in china, it seems so impossible to accomplish that task. Almost all the people here dont mind each others presence and they only mind theirselves interests. ‘d like to make a change in this place of the earth, im just hoping they’d be a little optimistic on our way of act of kindess.
Thank you
DIEGO’s RESPONSE:
Hello Samm,and thanks for visiting our web site.Your feelings of frustration when looking at the indifference that seems to surround us is not uncommon; just remember that kindness is contagious. Visit out ideas page and print some cards(see above), and start doing acts of kindness and passing cards around; sooner or later, you will inspire someone to follow your example, and the kindness wave will keep on growing.
Good luck in your kindness journey.
