"Think about the idea of giving to someone, without being asked or being expected to give, and without them knowing you" quote from the book '365 Ways To Change The World' - Michael Norton
Four Act of Kindness Cards will start circulating in the wider community on 24th April, 2008. At the bottom of the suggestion list are the details of some of the random acts of kindness that these cards have perpetuated.
REMEMBER YOU NEED TO LEAVE THE CARD WITH THE RECIPIENT SO THE ACT OF KINDNESS CAN CONTINUE

26/4/08 Seaford, SA RECEIVED : I am a charity collector for Deaf S.A. I was raising money at Woolworths Seaford at around 7:30 pm. I was given an "Act of Kindness card" with $30 attached to it. The person told me it was for myself not Deaf S.A. I was surprised somebody would do that. It made me want to try harder when it comes to raising money for Deaf SA.Thank you very much to that person. I will try and do something nice for somebody else, I also looked at web site. signed Fabian
