Starting with a simple advent calendar, Andrew Dunn created “RAK Louisville” ("Random Acts of Kindness Louisville"), a group to encourage a flood of daily “random acts of kindness” in Louisville. He was inspired after receiving an advent calendar from his mom, which required him to perform a daily act of kindness in order to receive a present. Through "RAK Louisville", Dunn encourages people to complete kindness challenges, organizes community events, helps students seek out service opportunities and motivates others to start their own projects.
Now a Manual High School freshman, Andrew was awarded a coveted Nickelodeon HALO Award at Nickelodeon's HALO Awards 2017 ceremony, held earlier this month at Pier 36 in New York City. The one-of-a-kind concert special honors four young leaders who are changing their communities and the world by “Helping and Leading Others” (HALO).
Each year, Louisville observes" Random Acts of Kindness Day" on December 23rd. For more information and ways to get involved, go to RAKLouisville.com. You can also text "kindness" to "33-222" for daily suggestions of random acts of kindness.
