Tell Us Your Good Deed

Supporting my students' request to bring Rachel's Challenge to my high school made a significant change in the culture of the school. Every month, "random acts of kindness" filled the school and created an atmosphere of respect and support. Listening to the voices of my students resulted in many good deeds and brought about positive change for an entire school community.

Why are you participating?

Respect and acceptance of all individuals makes our family, community and country the great place it is today. Supporting this initiative should be a priority for all citizens.

I have been working with inner city kids every summer since I was 16 years old. Most people would hate the thought of spending every morning with "crazy kids," but working with children is truly a blessing for me. My good deeds consists making people smile, educating, and learning from our youth.

Why are you participating?

I was interested in this project and think more people should spread positive deeds on the web. Its also a chance to eliminate assumptions about people that may look different from you.

I try to volunteer as much as I possibly can. I always say that if every one of us gave at least 4 hours of our time a week to volunteer activities, there would be no end to the things that we could accomplish for those in need.

Why are you participating?

It's a GREAT idea and it's just the right thing to do. When I was younger, I was told that Photography wasn't a REAL career and I wasn't allowed to pursue it in school. Years and many false starts later, I have decided to pursue that dream.

Some good deeds are little things you do without even thinking about it; taking my elderly neighbors donations to Boomerangs or helping my nephew with his homework. Last year I decided to actually put some effort into doing a good deed and joined CCFA's Team Challenge
