Yesterday (Nov 13) was World Kindness Day.  I have been working
pretty hard for the past 6 months to organize all the world’s Playback
Theatre companies into a one-day event, called Global Playback Theatre
for Kindness Day, and yesterday was the culmination of this. 
Several of the sites were videotaped, and a video will be produced
showing portions of all of these events.  I was honored at the
event for my work — both by Global Playback Theatre and by The
Kindness Campaign — and several of the members of Asheville Homeless
Network were also there.  I also raised another $7 for AHN in
donations at this event.

The following are quotations from the program for the Asheville event:

Pass them to others, and we will all have years of kindness.
