Kindness Rocks Project

Objective: To spread positivity and kindness in the community through creatively decorated rocks with uplifting messages.

Description: The “Kindness Rocks Project” is a heartwarming initiative that combines creativity with acts of kindness. This project involves painting rocks with inspiring messages or cheerful designs and leaving them in public spaces for others to find. The goal is to brighten someone’s day and create a ripple effect of kindness in the community.

Guidelines:

  1. Gather Your Materials: Collect some smooth rocks and purchase or find suitable paint, brushes, and markers for decorating.
  2. Create Your Message: Think of positive, uplifting messages or designs to put on your rocks. These could be simple words of encouragement, cheerful images, or anything that might bring a smile to someone’s face.
  3. Paint and Decorate: Spend time crafting your rocks into beautiful works of art. Remember, it’s not just about how they look, but the message they carry.
  4. Seal Your Rocks: Once the paint is dry, apply a clear sealant to protect your artwork from the elements.
  5. Place Them Thoughtfully: Leave your kindness rocks in public places where they’re sure to be found, like parks, trails, or urban areas. Be sure to follow any local guidelines about leaving items in public spaces.
  6. Share the Project: Encourage others to join in by sharing your Kindness Rocks experience on Chances.org and social media using #KindnessRocks.

Impact: By participating in the Kindness Rocks Project, you’re not just creating a piece of art; you’re sending out a beacon of joy and kindness. The discovery of these rocks can offer a moment of unexpected happiness in someone’s day and a reminder of the goodwill that exists in the world.

Kindness has a beautiful way of multiplying. Share something thoughtful you recently did for another person, your community, animals, or the planet. Your story does not need to be grand, even the smallest act of kindness may inspire someone else to do good today.

One or two short lines about a kind thing you did. Please leave out names, links, and contact information. Every message is read before it appears.

A personal note from Amelia, click to open Chances.org has been run by one volunteer, me, since 1999. Here's how you can help keep it going. Read my letter Close my note

Hello, it's me, Amelia Carrie. I have been running and updating Chances.org since 1999, for free. I pay for the software, hosting, maintenance, apps, and more. That's more than 25 years of my life devoted to doing something I love.

However, the fact is that I am a senior now and due to having to compete with AI for computer graphics work, I can no longer afford to run this site on my own. I need your help, not only to keep it online, but to keep it growing. That's why I am updating Chances.org with a Donate button and a Supporters page.

If you can't afford either, you can still help for free by using the sharing buttons below. Thank you!

With gratitude,
Amelia Carrie

For investors and dreamers: If you are an investor with the means to help Chances.org grow as big as Change.org or GoFundMe, please write to me at ChancesCharity@Gmail.com.

And if you have great plans and ambition, I may even let you take this site over, because everybody deserves a chance.

You can't have change without chances!
