Random Acts
of kindness

Random Acts of Kindness are selfless acts performed by a person or a group of people wishing to help others. Those who play this game will learn about kindness and compassion by practicing it. You can perform random acts of compassion for those you know, those unknown, for the earth, or for yourself. Distinct from Service Projects these acts can be spontaneous.  Visit the Gallery of Compassionate Action to learn more and get an overview of possible actions you may perform. 
Points are earned by tracking the # of Random Acts you do between 9/11 and 9/21 and then report the highlights of your experience of playing this game on the Compassion Map.

COMPASSION RELAYS
Welcome to the Compassion Relays!

The Compassion Relays connect the world with compassion. As we pass the Compassion Torch, we spread the light of compassion, inspiring and sharing the power of compassionate action in everyday life. 

To participate in a Compassion Relay means you are willing to receive, carry and pass on the Compassion Torch.

To carry the Compassion Torch means that for one week, on each day, you write down or capture through any medium (art, music, photo, video, etc.) one thought or action that shows compassion in your own daily life.
