7 languages, 2 coasters, multiple pieces of scrap paper, a few napkins and a race bib have all made it onto my wall. Over the past two months, I've shared my project with fellow travelers, waiters and taxi cab drivers and have collected some incredible stories. Below is a Random Act of Kindness Highlight from a Peace Corps teacher stationed in Thailand:

"A few months ago, I just so happened to be on Soi Cowboy, don't ask why, when from my right I noticed a little girl with big brown eyes looking up at me holding a bouquet of roses. She was selling the flowers to white guys so they could give them to the girl they just picked up. Since I was a good boy and didn't have a Thai lady by my side, I had no reason to buy a flower, but because I'm a teacher in Thailand and I knew that day was "students day" nationwide so I bought her and two more of her wide-eyed friends boxes of orange juice. Even though orange juice has a lot of sugar, I figured it's better than pop."
