Tell Us Your Good Deed

I try to be a giving person... every day. Whether it's a gift, a donation, a smile or simply a kind word.

Why are you participating?

I think it's a really cool project. People do good deeds every day... some small and some extraordinary. We hear about the extraordinary ones but never the small acts of kindness performed by everyday people.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am a member of the Outreach Committee at my church where I volunteer for various organizations. In addition, I have organized, and pay for, different clubs (craft club, movie/book club, and game club) after school for those who aren't necessarily involved in sports or music.

Why are you participating?

As a teacher, I see how labels effect the students I work with. Frankly, I'm just sick of it!!!

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I work hard in my job as a teacher of psychology to encourage within my students feelings of empathy and respect for all individuals. I also spend time talking with anyone who comes my way about the hard times they may be facing and I try to help them gain new insights about their situations so that they can begin to move forward once again in their lives. I have a passion for teaching about the struggles of women worldwide and in planning educational and cultural events that honor women everywhere.

Why are you participating?

I am participating because I love the theme of this project and its commitment to fostering understanding among individuals with varying identities. Anything that works to bring people together in joyful ways, as this project does, is great in my book.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteered to help build a house in Dorchester for Habitat for Humanity.

Why are you participating?

Thought the project was a cool idea, especially since so many people are judged merely by their looks.
