The Goodness of America
Race to Kindness
Fifth-grader Orion Jean of Dallas, Texas, is on a mission to prove that kindness can change the world and has set some ambitious goals to achieve just that. His latest campaign is to donate 100,000 meals to people in need by Thanksgiving, CBS Dallas reported.
According to the news outlet, altruism is in Jean’s blood. Earlier this year, he won a Think Kindness National Speech Contest in which he answered the question, “How can kindness change a nation?”
“The difficult situations impacting our world has shown us that kindness is more important now than ever before,” he wrote. “We’ve heard about the families hurting from this pandemic; the communities suffering injustice, and the people being OVER virtual learning…. We could really use a big hug right now. And that’s just it. Kindness is like spreading hugs around the world to those who need it and those who might not even know they need it.”
