Spread Kindness
When one man gave $50 and some instructions to two girls, something amazing happened! Let’s watch.
How far can the ripple effect of one act of kindness go? This chain reaction kept going and going. This generous man started the “butterfly effect” for kids at a local school and he has watched it ripple around the world.
How do we teach kids to think beyond themselves and see the needs in other people? One way is by spending time around people who are less fortunate. Help out at a low-income school, volunteer at a homeless shelter, donate clothes to a mission, or go on a family missions trip to a developing country.
Another way to spread kindness is to sponsor a child through Compassion International as a family. Encourage your children to write letters to your sponsored child and pray for him or her regularly. When children correspond with a child who lives in a developing country, they learn firsthand what challenges children around the world face. As a result, children learn to spread kindness in their sphere of influence as well.
