For two or three years now, I've asked people who've emailed me for a copy of the little book How To Live Well On A Small Income to go out onto the street or to their supermarket, to find a complete stranger who appears down and out.
And to give them ten dollars or pounds or krona or euro or whatever currency they live with.
Then if they agree to do that, they send me their postal address and I send them
a copy of the little book.
It's a simple, random act of kindness that can make our world a better place.
I've received many many wonderful responses, even a youtube clip, from people who've given a ten away. Heartwarming are the stories of how they met this young mum in the supermarket who didn't have enough cash at the checkout or of the particular man on the street.
Many want to just keep on giving and are, according to what they can afford.
So I thought today being April 10,
it's an appropriate day to start
'Give Someone Ten Today'
Perhaps you'll take part in it, if not today, then another day or if and when you might feel like it.
Maybe we can start a world wide event and those that can will, Give Someone Ten Today...
