Acts of Kindness

Meet and greet with community members while helping to distribute food at City Council Member Delia M Farquharson’s campaign event 2019.

When a child is born, they are pure of heart; they want to show goodness and kindness by helping others. Teaching children empathy and service to others involves showing them how to do this and then incorporating this into their daily lives. Once they learn to help others without being asked, they will feel positive about themselves and will encourage others to do the same. The best part is that their self-esteem will skyrocket. What a wonderful habit to learn! 🙂
