Students at Lima Central Catholic completed nearly 600 random acts of kindness in just two weeks as part of the “Doing A-OK Challenge.” The effort is now being passed on to Shawnee High School as organizers aim to expand the movement and reach one million acts of kindness.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “How can I make someone’s day a little brighter today?” John Battles has, and he has launched a global mission to ignite one million acts of kindness—starting right here in Lima.

He’s asking anyone who witnesses or performs an act of kindness to log it on the website and help grow the counter. His vision is to create a ripple effect that reminds people of the good happening all around them.
