Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Laundry Soap Smiles


--by ICCM, posted Jul 10, 2010

I live in a university town, and everyone knows how poor students usually are. 

The other day I went to the laundromat to do my laundry, and it occurred to me that instead of having a cup of coffee, I could buy three more tubs of washing powder and share them with those who might need them. 

I bought the tubs, and placed them near the entrance, with a SMILE card on each one of them. I hope this little gesture made some people smile! :)
