RAK Advent Calendar! These students are ROCKIN #RAKLouisville
So, my mom’s friend, Mrs, Jennifer Zink sent us this story and ideas from a group she leads. These are the AWESOME ladies of Northside Christian Church’s Weds Night Re-fuel (New Albany).
They joined us last year in doing RAKs but this year, they started early and they are spreading kindness in their community, their schools and their family. They are fantastic!!! I think it is amazing that people I have not even met yet are joining us and doing amazing things with RAK Louisville.
RAK ADVENT CALENDAR
So, how cool. They combined all their RAK ideas and made a calendar and with everyone doing something on the list everyday, it will spread kindness quickly. Looks closely at her picture and you will see the numbers and where they have added RAK ideas.
ALL THEIR RAK IDEAS
I think you can use this as a guide to help you do random acts of kindness around your community. You can also personalize these ideas and make it your own. Or even, make changes to it. I would recommend that if you are doing anything edible that you either sign a card so they know who it is from, or make sure it is store-bought (still in packaging).
