Kindness Ambassador!
As of today, right here, right now, I hereby commission you into the Kindness Team –a group of people sworn to promote kindness and compassion wherever we go.
Your first task: form your squad. Who is on your team? Who has your back? Is it your adults? Your siblings? Your bestie? Any or all of them can help you spread kindness throughout the city.
Now, What will you do? Kindness doesn't have to be BIG. It just needs to be something that makes someone feel good. Here is a mega list of ideas
