Random Act of Kindness for Students
Character Development Program Launches

WARREN, MI � (02/03/2005) Martial arts instructor Denny Strecker of Karate and Fitness Center is spearheading a new character development program designed to motivate local students to perform a million acts of kindness.

Strecker has challenged each of his students to complete 2,000 Random Acts of Kindness as part of their curriculum to earn a Black Belt. Children as young as four years old have joined the challenge and started to document their acts in a special journal.

A random act of kindness is defined as a kind, respectful or considerate act performed from one person to another, unsolicited and without any expectation of reward or recognition in return. The Random Acts of Kindness program is aimed at encouraging students to do kind acts for their teachers and classmates.

A random act of kindness could be opening the door for a teacher, helping a classmate with her homework, or saying thanks for a well-taught lesson.

�My goal is to educate children that completing Acts of Kindness will make them feel good about themselves, and in turn, help improve the community.� So far, the Karate and Fitness Center has documented over 6,000 Acts of Kindness and doesn�t show any signs of slowing down. In fact, the program is spreading nation wide and the acts of kindness can be found on a centralized web site.
