This week, while reading about the horrific mass shooting in El Paso (in my home state), I stumbled upon this one article highlighting the efforts of 11-year-old Ruben Martinez.
Deeply disturbed by the shooting, the sixth-grader wanted to do something that would help his community. And after being challenged by his mom to think of an idea that shows the kindness of El Paso, he wrote down a whole list of ideas.
And he started the #ElPasoChallenge.
He is challenging everyone to do 22 acts of random kindness in honor of those who perished that day.
I love your challenge, Ruben. And to help you with it, I've created these two pages (available in English and Spanish) that list ideas of ways to be kind, or allow you to record your acts of kindness.
It is free for everyone to download and use.
Thanks, Ruben.
