Start your kindness chain NOW!

We understood what random acts of kindness mean. We realized that we need this in our Arab World. What's next?

You don't have to read books or encyclopedias, search the internet or google to find out what to do next. Once you took the decision to change your life and start doing these random acts of kindness, your heart will lead.


Be KindKindness as an attitude is infectious. When you're willing to share your kindness, others will be inspired by your example and think about doing something as kind themselves. "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible". - Dalai Lama


Use your manners - Manners in our Middle East aren't dead, they've just been forgotten in many ways. Hold doors open for others, hold an umbrella over someone in the rain, say thank you.


Give out compliments generously - Tell people you know how special they are, how pretty they look today, what a great job they have done. Better yet, tell people you don't know some compliments and make their day.


Volunteer Offer helping hands. Clean up without being asked. Make up food parcels for people in need.


You can find more steps and ideas on our Facebook page and twitter account. 


One last thing to say, the greatest act of kindness is expecting nothing in return when doing it and the greatest impact when it is done with strangers.


Care to start your own random acts of kindness chain. Share with us your story.
