About Generosity and Giving back

Following-up the spirit of Thanksgiving, here follows a selection of ten videos entitled 'Random Acts of Kindness and Generosity. Amy Erin Borovoy, a contributor for Edutopia, wrote: 'Thanksgiving is traditionally a time for reflecting on the things you're grateful for, and it's a known fact that practicing gratitude is a valuable tool for building character. Some say the other key to the pursuit of happiness is gratitude's counterpart, generosity. So I thought I'd kick off the season of giving by shining a little spotlight on simple acts of kindness that can have a huge impact: I've gathered ten videos about people giving back, paying it forward, and helping others -- to inspire us all to do the same this holiday season and all year long.'

You can either watch the video playlist HERE, or view it on YouTube. The following is a random example of the selected videos.
