“To honor the fallen children: 26 acts of kindness
proposed...
NEW YORK (AP) — A new movement has
taken off to honor the 26 people killed at a school in Newtown, Conn.
The campaign sparked from a question
NBC News correspondent Ann Curry asked herself after Friday's massacre at Sandy
Hook Elementary School: "What can I do?"
The answer she arrived at was
performing 26 acts of kindness. On Sunday, she shared that suggestion on social
media, inviting everyone to join her.
By Wednesday, the hashtag
"26acts" was trending on Twitter, and a "26 Acts of
Kindness" Facebook page had exceeded 17,000 likes.
The social media sites describe acts
of kindness directed toward members of the Newtown community, as well as to
others across the nation and even globally.
The movement is a way to "help
heal us all," Curry wrote on the NBC News website.”
