Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day! It’s the day to show that you care and think about others first. You may decide on any random act, big or small, yet it will make a difference for somebody.

Take this as inspiration and as our random act of kindness for you.

A single act of compassion can very often be life-changing. Take a moment. #PayItForward #RandomActsOfKindnessDay pic.twitter.com/5laHxvmo47
