A

Orion Jean, a young boy in the United States, has a big goal. He wants to spread kindness to as many people as he can.

It all started in August 2020. Jean received $500 in prize money after winning the USA National Kindness Speech Contest.  He could have spent the money on toys, but he quickly realised that it was not enough to just talk about being kind. The boy set up the “Race to Kindness” project.

Jean started off by helping children in the hospital. Because of the pandemic, these children were unable to see their family members very often. Jean wanted to bring smiles to their faces. He used his money to buy as many toys as he could while calling on people to do the same. In only a month, he had collected 619 toys. The boy sent them to a local children's hospital. “It's one of the best experiences of my life,” he said at the time.

Not long after, in October 2020, Jean set the ambitious goal of donating 100,000 free Thanksgiving

meals to poor families. With the help of a local charity, he was able to not only reach his goal but also go beyond it.

As a book lover, Jean knows how reading can change a person's life. After he discovered that two out of three kids from poor families had no books of their own, the boy decided to. collect 500,000 books for them. Will he take a break after this? “Who knows?
