FACEBOOK PAGES
26 Acts of Kindness - The idea is simple: Do "26 acts of kindness" — one for each of the 20 children and six adults killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. Since NBC News' Ann Curry tweeted that idea, it's taken off. Thousands have tweeted back to her about things they've done. Donating trees. Delivering meals. Anonymously leaving money for a co-worker who's struggling. Helping a stranger who's short on cash in the check-out line. Donating frequent flier miles to Make A Wish. You get the idea. Will you be part of the #26Acts?
