I tentatively planned a visit to this campus, SCAD as it is called, last August to visit my friend Helen’s son, David. I finally arrived today and met with this very big hearted young man. David is a talented graphics design major; he is going to work to make this website even more informational than currently exists. Thank you David!
Alfredo and Humberto who are from Portugal, documented their pleasure of seeing the bus by photographing Bogart and me from many angles in front of the bus. Humberto has a blog named manwithamovingcamera.blogspopt.com He is going to spread our message across Portugal. What great things can be accomplished with the internet. I also had the opportunity of meeting two very charming girls, Mallory and Pam. Both girls approached me about the same time. I was so impressed with their level of interest in One Million Acts Of Kindness that I asked both of them to write messages on the side of the bus. I was able to talk with over two hundred people during my brief stay. Bogart, during an explore of a nearby park in the city, was very interested in Can, a local musician. Can agreed to have Bogart sit with him while he played a couple of songs. Bogart rocks!!

Bogart is my travel companion on The Kindness Bus Tour for the next ten years. We will be on the road traveling to campuses across the country. Bogart is a eight year old Boston Terrier. He is a great people dog... he loves meeting new people. I am Bogart's fourth owner in his short 8 years of life... Not because of him but because his three previous owner's lifestyles changed after they took him in... Lucky for me!! Bogart is the luckiest, most spoiled dog on the face of the earth. He loves the bus and he loves to travel. Please come and visit him when we are on your campus.
The Blue Bird Corporation donated this amazing bus to One Million Acts of Kindness, allowing us the continue this initiative. It has been painted to closely resemble the original Kindness Bus. It will last well beyond the ten years of this mission. A very big thank you to Blue Bird from Bob Votruba and Bogart too!!
The original Kindness bus has been donated to a professor at Virginia Tech who will use it on campus and at schools in the Blacksburg area. The Kindness Bus will continue to inspire and comfort residents, students and visitors in that area for years to come.
One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their life. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life? It is a constant mind-set of kindness every day of your life for the next fifty-five years. Doing for others and kindness in your heart for everyone. It is my wish that you will dedicate your life to a charity... finding the passion in your heart for something or someone in need.
As a father of three college age kids I am concerned for the world in which all kids will live. A great way to create a safer, more caring world is for everyone to start their lifetime goal of One Million Acts Of Kindness. So I bought a bus, had about sixty family members, friends and neighbors help paint it and began a ten year journey with my Boston Terrier, Bogart, to college campuses across the country hoping to convince as many of you as possible about this much needed movement for this world. I love you guys too much to sit back and not do anything about this. Let's start a kindness movement in this country today to change the direction this world is headed!! You are the change that this world needs.
