Finding A ‘Kind World’ In Boston, Mass.

This month we are collecting your stories about the good things Americans are doing to make their community a better place. Some of your contributions will become blog posts and the project will end with a story that weaves together submissions to make a story of Americans by Americans for Americans.

Kind World, an online experiment at WBUR in Boston, celebrates the effect random acts kindness can have on others. Whether it’s paying the toll for the person behind you, galvanizing a community to support a family in crisis, or paying $1 to purchase a book for a little girl — these are the stories of ordinary people turning ordinary circumstances into extraordinary memories.

Every week we feature audio of these stories on the site. Users can also submit their stories of kindness in two ways: 1) Tumblr submissions, or 2) by leaving a message on our Google Voice at 617-651-0909.
