Join the Kindness Revolution …

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.

“Now is the time to wake up kindness as a fierce and revolutionary force. It’s easy and its fun!” says Jono.

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. You could drop a cake on your neighbours doorstep, pay for the person behind you at the drive-thru restaurant or send a friend an inspiring CD or book.

Is anonymous kindness truly revolutionary? There’s only one way to find out! Order your free kindness cards at WakeUpSydney.com.au
