Random Acts of Kindness Week: Watch a caring driver give an umbrella to a man in the rain

On a rainy day in Chanthaburi, Thailand, one random act of kindness made all the difference.

At a street crossing, a man in a wheelchair was getting drenched while waiting for the light to turn green. Suddenly, a car pulled up beside him. Through the window, a thoughtful stranger handed him an unexpected gift.

During Random Acts of Kindness Week, starting on February 14, we celebrate the many good deeds that help make the world a better place. The phrase 'practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty' was coined in 1982 by magazine writer and editor Anne Herbert.

Thirteen years later, her words inspired the creation of Random Acts of Kindness Week by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, encouraging people to be kind and pay it forward.

There are many ways to participate in Random Acts of Kindness Week, from big gestures like donating blood to simpler acts like paying for a stranger’s coffee or walking a friend’s dog.

Whatever you do, the goal is to make kindness the norm for the week and beyond, because we all benefit when kindness and generosity become a way of life. You can share your own acts of kindness with us on social media using the hashtag #RandomActsofHumankind.
