The best-selling book, Random Acts of Kindness, helped to start a movement that has spread around the world. The book, and the many books on kindness that followed, helped to highlight the transformative power that each of has to change the world with kindness, one person at a time.

The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation helps to promote "kindness" by providing inspiration, information, and resources to celebrate kindness throughout the year as well as a special World Kindness Day on November 13, World Kindness Week in November, and a Random Acts of Kindness Week in February.

Others celebrate the first of every month as Kindness Day. In this way we begin each month by rededicating ourselves to change the world, one act of kindness at a time. Together we are creating a more peaceful, just and sustainable world through kindness.

The Kind Acts Foundation's website (www.kindacts.org) offers educators and parents a free and easy way to create a certificate to reward a child for an act of kindness.
