According to science, compassion is not something that we are born with or that we have or don't have. It is cultivated by deliberate effort. In November 2024, Bhaktivedanta Academy's 7-10th grade students in Alachua, Florida, were engaged in a month-long project entitled "108 Random Acts of Kindness," the highlights of which are featured in this video. We can all make the world a better place by doing our small part to make the world kinder, more compassionate. In the end, we will all be happier if we are just a little bit kinder as we go through our days.

    Those students will never forget that project and how powerful compassion can be. I'm sure that the experience will help direct their future actions. There is so much toxicity in the world that it is wonderful to see students having this opportunity to right the imbalance. Bravo to the teacher for creating this opportunity.
