Although some people are not familiar with this annual celebration – maybe you would like to join. If you would like to know more about this day – please read this post where I provide an explanation.
RAK day was officially started in Colorada, USA in 1995 by a Foundation with the same name. However, I still continue this custom on the other side of the Atlantic.
This morning I performed my own RAK. It is never something to boast about but I would like to share an example.
I made a few packages of beautiful used clothes which are still looking good. I gave them to someone who is less privileged and whom I have observed for a while. She did not hesitate to examine the items. The look on her face was priceless – she was so happy. She asked me whether most of the clothes were new. I said no. She then told me that often when she receives clothing from others, they are in need of repairs. She was so grateful; she absolutely made my day. I was very happy that I made her day as well.
I try to be kind most days, but I must say that I made a concerted effort for today. I had washed and ironed all these items to take to a second-hand store. However, last week I remembered that this day was fast approaching. Instead of selling these clothes I gave them away.
As you read this story and realise now that today is a special day to do RAKs – will you join me? Of course, you can do this any other day as well.
I wonder:
1.Are you a RAK-tivist by nature?
2.Have you ever had someone done a RAK for you? If yes, how did you feel afterwards?
3.Does this idea provide inspiration for you to become a RAK-tivist?
4.How will you perform RAK-tivism on the Hive blockchain?
I will perform my own RAK here on the Hive blockchain.
If you feel like sharing a Random Act of Kindness story with me today – please do so.
