Goodbye, MAK! Hello, Gives Me Hope!

As Magical Acts of Kindness 2009 comes to a close, I want to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated this week! In the words of our wonderful MAK coordinator Halllie, The actions of individuals can do so much to lift the spirits of our local and world communities. I had a great time this week getting to read all about your MAKs…I hope you all had fun doing them!

IF YOU HAVEN’T SHARED your stories already, then start sharing soon! Tell us about an MAK that you did, or even one that was done for you. There are a couple of ways you can tell us about MAKs:

• Write a comment here
• Make a post in the Common Room
• Twitter @thehpalliance

Remember that all stories posted are considered for submission to the Gives Me Hope* website. Submissions to Gives Me Hope must be 350 characters or less, so we may be editing your stories to fit that criteria.

IF YOU DIDN’T GET A CHANCE to do a Magical Act of Kindness last week, don’t worry! Keep an eye out for a continuation of this project in the future. Plus, there are no MAK police, which means you should feel free to do any MAKs between now and whenever we schedule the next Magical Acts of Kindness Week. Just make sure to share your experiences with us afterward!

TELL EVERYONE about your MAK Week experiences by Twittering them @thehpalliance (with #mak), blogging about them at the Ning’s Common Room, or sharing them in the Magical Acts of Kindness Forums. We hope to read your stories soon!
