Kindness Boomerang Tour

If we want to truly change the culture of our country we need to begin having meaningful conversations. And so the theme of this tour is focused on listening and sharing. It’s not about everyone believing the same thing, but rather everyone respecting the beliefs of the other. “For all the violence to cease we must agree to disagree.” - Orly Wahba

Listening and sharing. That is the theme of the 6-week Kindness Boomerang Cross Country Tour spearheaded by our friend Orly Wahba, author of Kindness Boomerang and Founder of Life Vest Inside. In response to the rift in the United States, the Kindness Caravan seeks to inspire dialogue and connection.

Starting in Vancouver, Washington on October 29 and zigzagging across the country from West to East, so much kindness will be spread. Orly and her crew will engage in kindness talks in schools, participate in a Run for Kindness in Vancouver, visit Children’s Hospitals, and distribute Acts of Kindness cards along the way. Some 2,000 cards will be passed out from Vancouver to San Francisco. The crew will also be volunteering their time to provide meals for the homeless with the help of Meals on Wheels.

Although so much kindness and goodness has been planned and is about to be underway, there is still so much to do, and you can help! The crew hopes to distribute kindness books to teachers, pay it forward with random acts of kindness, and deliver joy and flower bouquets to senior homes. Join in the movement, and if you feel so inspired to do so, you can give to their Indiegogo campaign.
​
All the while, the experience will be documented to be made into a film showcasing the amazing, transformative moments that will certainly be shared, and of course, all the fun! If the Kindness Caravan is coming to your city, you do not want to miss them, but regardless, this is an opportunity to be a part of an incredible kindness boomerang - give a little kindness and it always comes back to you.
