Is anonymous kindness truly revolutionary? The founder of WakeUpSydney.com.au,Jono Fisher, has invited Sydney-siders to join what he has coined as the ‘Kindness Revolution’ – towards ourselves, each other and the natural world. There’s already thousands of people playing the game of pay-it-forward: anonymously doing something kind to someone and leaving a kindness card behind asking the receiver to do the same.

Host an ‘Exchange for Change’ party – have fun, share with friends and re-vamp your wardrobe for next to nothing. You’ll be helping Oxfam Australia to find solutions to global poverty and injustice at the same time. Runs 1-30 September 2009.
