Small, consistent acts of Love


Small consistent acts of love and service, eventually create a big shift in our own lives and the world at large. This month’s Maitri Space gathering began with this thought at the center. Participants from different walks of life shared small acts of love and kindness that have touched, moved and shaped them. A mother feeding her help first, a painter connecting with the wall, a grandfather who insists on doing all his work himself, an uncle who sees joy in every moment — many heart stories and moments were shared and many more emerged during the 3 days. .
 
Kishan witnesses the power of small acts done with great love when Ani Didi planted seeds of kindness and gratitude among girls at Vinay Mandir School, Gandhi Ashram, Ahmedabad.
 
For the last 10 years Seva Cafe volunteers have been cooking, serving and cleaning with love for everyone who enters through their doors. Last month they came together for a one day volunteers' retreat sharing their inspirations, stories and reflecting on the way forward.
 
 

Sow the seeds and trust

What happens when a bunch of heART-ists come together from a space of gratitude to offer their 'original art' anonymously as a gift? What started as a small experiment turned into a huge journey of ripples says Meghna.
 

10 soldiers and an act of kindness

They say that a solider is someone who, at one point in his life, writes a blank cheque made payable to ' India ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' Jaideep shares a moving story of the person who gifted meals to ten soldiers on a flight.
