Tell Us Your Good Deed

One time, I cannot remember when, I went to Taco Bell to get dinner for the family. While I was waiting for the order, a tall and extraordinarily thin young man entered the establishment and scarfed down a dollar burrito and looked sad afterward. It was apparently because he'd just been kicked out and had not had the stomach to eat until then. I'd decided to order him a larger burrito. He actually cried. I don't know why, but this has stuck with me for the longest time.

After reading about it, I realized that the No Evil Project is something that I've seen in people for years. It's nice to see that many others have similar ideals.

I spend all my free time spreading the beauty of art to people of all ages, especially children. I spend my days making costumes to make people's beloved characters come to life and promote free craft events to the public. I want art to be accessible to everyone at no cost, and to fulfill a child their dream of interacting with their favorite role models, especially those who are ill and are limited by the walls of their hospital bed.

Why are you participating?

I am a Biology undergraduate and as a result, I work in the science and research community. But because I am entering such a professional setting, sometimes it is difficult to still be a cosplayer, because most people view them as "weird" or "crazy".

One good thing I did was saving a baby bird. It was abandoned and very far from any place that would contain a nest. I gave it a home and fed it. I cared for it to the best of my ability.

Why are you participating?

Whenever I see someone new in our church or at a party I always make sure they feel welcomed and introduce them to everyone so they don't feel out of place. :)

Why are you participating?

We was at a ice cream festival and there was this booth that said "NoEvilProject" and it caught my eye so I went over and I think it has good intentions so I wanted to do it. Simple as that :)

I feel it is important for us has humans to feel "not invisible" so I go out of my own comfort zone to compliment complete strangers. It could be their smile, hair, eyes, clothes, shoes, or even how they've done something. It almost always creates a positive response or a smile. It also makes me feel good to have just a tiny connection with that person even if only for a moment.

Why are you participating?

I feel it is important to celebrate our similarities and our differences.
