I am originally from Valencia, where on the 29th of October, floods caused devastating human and material losses. Soon after the tragedy, I set up a fundraising page where colleagues, friends, and family donated. Together, we raised 2,000€, which has been forwarded to two friends who lost their homes. I would like to express my immense gratitude to all the people who donated, especially to my colleagues at the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, and more specifically, from the Language Centre.

Working part-time at Subway, I witness little moments of kindness every day—simple gestures that fill my heart with positivity. Some moments stay with me. One day, I accidentally charged a man, who was with his little daughter, for an extra sandwich that actually belonged to the lady behind him. Realizing the mistake, I quickly offered to refund him. But without hesitation, he smiled—one of the warmest smiles I’ve ever seen—and said, "Have it! My treat!" In that instant, kindness wasn’t just a word; it was a feeling, a ripple, a reminder that even the smallest acts can make the world a little brighter.And today, a woman came in—by the looks of it, she was homeless—and had gathered just enough money to buy herself some hash browns. But when she reached the counter, she was a few pennies short. Hoping to help, I asked my colleague if we could offer her a small discount, but unfortunately, it wasn’t possible. Before I could say anything else, the man in line ahead of her stepped in without hesitation. "I’ll cover it," he said, not only paying for her food but also enough for her to get an extra drink. She left with a smile so bright, it was as if the world had given her something far greater than just a meal.

I spotted this sign at the Exchange Building bus stop on Jubilee Campus today. Someone had left their shopping behind, and a kind stranger not only took it to the Welcome Point but also made this sign to help them find it. It’s such a small but meaningful gesture that shows how kindness can make a difference. I’ve attached a photo—hope this helps spread some positivity!

As a graduate student and a self-taught mandala artist, I've always turned to art as a way to find peace and calm during stressful times. It started with making mandala art for myself, but I soon realized how much joy it brought to others when I began gifting my pieces to friends and family. Seeing how much happiness these simple acts of kindness could bring—how they said the mandalas lifted their spirits and helped them feel calmer—was incredibly rewarding.
That inspired me to start "Nirvritti – Art for Wellbeing", where I offer workshops to share this experience with more people. Through this initiative, I hope to help others find peace, even if just for a moment, through the power of art. It’s a small way I can spread kindness and contribute to the well-being of those around me.

That evening, my husband went for a run and noticed the duck sitting there. The next day, a woman posted on Facebook, saying it was a long shot, but had anyone seen her daughter's lost duck? When my husband saw the post, he immediately told me where he’d spotted it. I took the dogs for a walk to the reserve, found the duck, and tucked it safely in my pocket. Later, we returned it to one very happy little girl.

It's such a small thing, but a chain of kindness led to a moment of happiness for a child. Having lost my soft toy dog at the age of 4, I remember the joy of being reunited with my comforter.
