Do good for Pay It Forward Day

Remember the movie Pay It Forward with Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt, and Haley Joel Osment? It centered around a kid who works to make the world a better place by doing one nice thing for three other people after any time someone did something nice for him. Whenever he helped someone out, he encouraged them to continue the spread of kindness by paying it forward. Sounds pretty good, right? Turns out, people all over the world agree: today is Pay It Forward Day!

28 countries have pledged to participate in the event, including the United States, Canada, England, France, and even Herzegovina. What’s more, while participants can pay it forward with pretty much any good deed imaginable, the Pay It Forward Day website has some fun suggestions to get you inspired. A few of my favorites:

  • On a rainy day, buy a few umbrellas and give them to those who don’t have one and are getting wet.
  • Buy a train or bus ticket for the person behind you.
  • Get a bunch of people who travel for work and frequently stay at hotels to donate the free soap, shampoo and conditioner towards a group that would benefit.

For more ideas, plus printable Pay It Forward leaflets and cards, check out payitforwardday.com .
