Donating monthly to various organizations
The concept is intriguing.
When I run, I try to say hello/good morning to every person I pass, in the hopes that it brings the world a little closer.
Allowing individuals to label themselves, and share the labels through a picture is such a powerful action. It is essential to break down the barriers of what our society's categorization, and inspire people to view each other as individuals under the same sky.

Too many times when I'm driving around, there's someone on a corner in need, holding up a a sign about being homeless, or in dire circumstances. Rarely do I have cash or change, but usually have snacks. I offer something to eat or drink that hasn't been opened. On the few ocassions that I haven't had anything suitable to offer, I have at least opened the window to say hello instead of ignoring them. And I make sure my kids understand the importance of acknowledging those that might need our help.
I've brushed off the impact of what the labels I've been given or incurred, mostly. But it can still sting when flung at someone as a dig. And it's so important to recognize your good and your deeds.

I volunteered at a nursing home to dye Easter eggs with some of the residents to entertain and cheer them up for a little while.
Because if I never actually got to know my roommate and instead let my stereotypes continue to be what I thought of her, I never would have met one of my absolute best friends.
