How can you and your kids spread kindness?
It’s well documented that acts of kindness raise the givers feel good meter, leaves recipients with a wonderful sense of wellbeing and joy, and even has a positive effect on bystanders.
Ripple’s community project aims to inspire people who want to create more happiness, peace, and hope in their own lives by touching other people with acts of generosity and love.
We believe that when people regularly practice kindness, they become addicted to the feel-good emotions that warm their heart. While touching others' lives, their attitude, feelings, and actions change, and they feel more peaceful and that their life has more meaning.
With this in mind, studies prove that kindness can be a powerful antidote for a range of social, emotional and mental health issues.
