I'm honored to be a kindness advocate and Giving Tuesday Spark Leader! Giving Tuesday Spark is global generosity movement lead by youth from all over the globe! As part of the Giving Tuesday community, I'm working hard to share Kindness with as many people. During the weeks leading up to and on Giving Tuesday Spark (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving) the Spark leaders are sharing acts of kindness with youth and people in need, all over the globe! For me, I donate much of my time fundraising for books and sharing those stores with kids. I also organize a bookmark initiative that gets kids from all over the country crafting inspirational bookmarks to share with others. So far, over 6000 bookmarks have been created and shared around the country! There are many ways to be spread kindness and I invite you to help me reach as many people as possible! If you'd like to donate to E Train Talks, Inc. and help me end book deserts and share books with kids, please know that every dollar does directly to sharing books with kids! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=DALMJZJH7BEJ4
I'm honored to be recognized by the World Kindness Movement with this prestigious award for my Kindness and Generosity Initiatives. I will continue advocating for literacy and spreading book joy and kindness wherever and whenever possible.
Giving Tuesday 2023 was filled with so much generosity! I'm so grateful to everyone who participated in making Giving Tuesday 2023 a celebration of epic giving! More than 3000 kids were reached in my generosity and spreading book joy initiatives, from California to New York, to New Hampshire and even across the globe to Israel. So many kids participated in crafting and sharing beautiful and inspirational book marks! It was amazing! I spoke with hundreds of kids in person and virtually about books and spreading kindness, and shared so many smiles! And, what's more! This year's fundraising efforts, combined with my new partnership with the wonderful Bess the Book Bus, made it possible to connect 1000 brand new books with kids in need of story smiles! I was able to give books to kids at local elementary schools, little free libraries and even to kids at Shriners Children's Hospital. Giving Tuesday 2023 was truly magical. Thank you to everyone who supported my efforts and joined me in spreading kindness! I'm truly grateful.
In honor of #GivingTuesdaySpark on November 29th, I talked with the one and only Dante Plush! Dante is a kindness spark and a great force of inspiration to me and so many youth around the globe. He's a Giving Tuesday Kindness Legend himself, and the Director of Youth Engagement and Outreach for Giving Tuesday Spark! No one can compare to the warmth in his heart, and his ongoing work to change the world! That's why I was so honored to sit down and talk with him! Watch our chat!
