Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteer with the Allston Brighton Food Pantry, placing the food orders for its weekly community meals and its food basket distributions.

Why are you participating?

We tend to make snap judgements about others. This was probably a useful and necessary instinct in the deep past, but our lizard brains haven't caught up to our current, complex reality.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I saved a five year old boy who was about to drown in a branch of the sea. I saved him with mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.

Why are you participating?

I want to have a relationship with other people of a different country than mine.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

If I know a family is struggling with money and they ask me to babysit, I won't charge them. Or if I feel like doing something nice for a family, I tell them I'll babysit while they go out to dinner and I won't take their money. =)

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Every year I volunteer as a lifeguard at the Windham Special Olympics swim meet as a lifeguard. Athletes from all across Connecticut come to compete and to enjoy different sport clinics. I love seeing the smiles on the athletes faces as they finish their events and are so proud of themselves for accomplishing their goals.

Why are you participating?

I was passing by and was asked to participate. I hope that this project shows that what you see and that labels are only a tiny bit of who we are.
