One Million Acts of Kindness is an incredible mission founded/created by Bob Votruba, a father of three college kids. His goal - to encourage people to individually perform one million acts of kindness in their lifetime. He said his motivation came from contemplating the kind of world kids are currently living in which sparked great concern. He believes in an effort to create a safer, more loving world, people should purposely commit acts of kindness. A sort of "paying it forward"-type of outlook.
To get this process going, Votruba bought a bus, decked it out with the help of more than 50 friends and family members, and took off on a 10-year journey with his Boston Terrier, Bogart. He's traveling throughout the country, visiting college campuses, hoping to promote a kindness movement. He started in August 2009. Be sure to check out his blog which is updated with each stop he makes along the way. And get ready to spread the word about Kindness Week which takes place February 8-14.
