Random Act of Kindness shown to Graceland

The first year occupational therapy class at Stellenbosch University was nominated by the first year occupational therapy class of the University of Cape Town to a RAK nomination, (Random Act of Kindness nomination). This means that they had a specific time-frame to complete any act of kindness, film it, and put it on social media (such as Youtube or Facebook). 

We were visited by the class of Occupational Therapy students from Stellenbosch University, a very eager and willing group. Their Random Act of Kindness to us was to do activities with the children and pamper the teachers. The activities with the children included playing games, face painting and doing creative art work. Our children enjoyed every moment of it. The pampering of the teachers included the a very indulgent manicure that started with a thorough hand massage. It is one of the few times where the teachers are also being spoiled. The RAK film will be online on the 18th of March 2014. Watch out for Graceland!

Thank you for choosing Graceland to be part of such a great initiative! If each one of us could show a Random Act of Kindness to someone we meet or see daily, the world would be a better place. My hope is that our little Gracelanders will one day be the ones to pay it forward and show others the kindness they continue to receive at Graceland. 

"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention."
