Why
don't you carry out "Pay It Forward" in your school or place of work?
Here are some ideas that may interest you...
• Write
and illustrate a class picture book for children at the local
hospital.
• Be
friendly to someone you would normally ignore.
• Help
someone with homework or classwork.
• Friendship
hand….trace the shape of a child’s hand and write his or her name.
Each member of then class then writes one complimentary word about
the person until it is full. Cut out the hand and display it.
•Write
cards to cheer up people (teachers, friends, local retirement
home, workmates, etc.)
The possibilities are endless, so it's time for action now!!!
Be part of this worldwide movement that takes place on April 26th and change the world!

What a fantastic film. Have the best memories of it! Today is Pay It Forward Day and we are celebrating it. What about you? Did you do anything special to change the world?
I LOVE this movie! After watching it for the first time, I felt inspired to do something similar. I never had the guts to do it, though :(.
Very interesting post! ;) I'm your follower now!
Thank you for the post about this film. I am always engaged by my family, homeworks, jobs, etc and I often forget all things surrounded me. Today I have had the occasion to reflect. Generally we say "let's make good things and forget them". I hope I'll be able to make good things for people around me.
