We Wanna Hear From Miami Valley’s Raktakvists!

February 15, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

random-acts-logo-revised-300x300This week is Random Acts of Kindness Week, and DMM wants to help  celebrate! We want to hear from Raktavists. RAKtivist is short for ‘Random Acts of Kindness activist’. Think of RAKtivists like kindness ambassadors – and, like all ambassadors, they’re a part of an active, global community. 

Anyone who believes kindness can change the world, who reminds everyone around them how much love there is in the world, who inspires hope and generosity with their actions as much as their words… they’re a RAKtivist.

SKOUT recently conducted a survey among more than 2,700 people to uncover trends when it comes to unexpected kindness. The most heartwarming finding in the survey was that 65% of people say they perform a random act of kindness every day! A Random Act of Kindness (RAK) can take many different forms:

To celebrate Random Acts of Kindness week  DMM wants  you to share your stories in the comment below!

Why share your RAK story?

Kindness is contagious! As you share and read RAK stories, you will inspire others and be inspired to take small actions that can help make someone else’s (and your) day a little better.

Think about the RAKs you’ve experienced and how they may have affected you, even on a small scale. Share your stories throughout from now until Sun , February 21st by  commenting below. Don’t have any to share yet? Use these next few days to observe how someone’s unexpected RAK impacts you. We look forward to reading your stories and you never know, we might even reward a few Raktavists with a RAK of our own!

    I like to pay for the next order at my favorite pizza place, Joe’s Pizza. I was unable to pay off my pizza one time and a steamer paid for my meal. So every time I go in now, I like to ask the cashier to also include the next carry out pizza on my tab. The most I can how for is that they pay it forward.
