Child Advocacy and Parenting Services Program Director, Deb Jensen took the time to meet with me today at their offices in Salina, Kansas to explain all of the services they provide to the community. Entering their facility I found myself in a child-friendly room named Chris’s Place. This reception area is designed to make a child who has been sexually abused feel comfortable before being interviewed about past experiences. Deb is an energetic, passionate individual who puts so much into her work, spoke proudly of the successes of protecting children and how diligently everyone works to help children gain their lives back by prosecuting the sexual offenders and forever removing them from the child’s life. I was very impressed by all the help this organization is providing to the families in Saline county.
Karl Man reporter for KWCH 12 flagged me down in the downtown area of Salina to learn of The Kindness Bicycle/Bus Tour. Karl was the consummate professional as he covered every detail of what my mission is accomplishing through awareness. Thank you Karl for such an in-depth piece.
With all of the time spent talking in meetings and with people I met on the streets of Salina, I came up about 10 miles short of my needed total for the day. I will ride on one of my days off this weekend to whittle down my deficit of nearly 300 miles.

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.
