1. Help kids in an orphanage for Eid presents:

before Eid one of my friend who was a volunteer in an orphanage. she asked for the help of kids for giving them Eid presents. the purpose was to bring the kids with clothes, shoes, and Eid goodies etc. so my friend was approaching for help. I donated some money so I could be at least a volunteer for trying to have a smile on face of pretty kids. It was the best feeling ever for me to be a person who tries to do something for orphanage kids from my own pocket money.

2. Encourage someone who seems hopeless:

one of my friends was very disappointed about her life situations. she was worried about her career choice and wanted to quit her studies without and valid issue. I tried to encourage her to review her decision. I just listened to her wholeheartedly what she wanted to say and calmed her about everything. I made her feel relax by listening her had by encouraging her not to quit her studies. and finally, she got it and she never made any harsh decision about her studies.

3. help my family in household work:

I am a hostel-zed person. mostly I must stay in a hostel for my studies. but when I came home. I always try to help my mother in her works. and ask her if she needs any kind of help or have any issues in which I can help her. I organize my room and my cupboard by my own so my mother should take some rest and will not be worried about my works. when my sisters are at my place, I try to take care of her kids so they can relax. I helped them in doing work trying to make tea for them. I listened to them. we share our stories, and we stay happy together and spent a beautiful time.

4. aid to a cancer patient:

in my B.S last semester, we were sitting in our class waiting for our professor. some random persons come from another department and told us about the story of their class fellow who was fighting with cancer. she was in the last stage of cancer but there were hopes for the curation. they were collecting donations for their cancer fellow. they asked for the help for whatever financial help everyone can give. our class helped them. I also helped that patient form pocket money but also asked my family to donate for her. my family also give donations. so that as a small act of kindness.

5. Do something for someone without them asking

sometimes it's better to do something for someone without them asking. because if someone is not asking it does not mean they do not need help. I always tried to help my friends even if they are not asking. small acts of kindness like I bring water for my friends in hostel when she cannot go downstairs because of cold weather. made tea for my friends in the hostel. I also help them if they need help in studies or in their assignments. helping others without there asking will always give me a best and peaceful feeling and it gives me the best feeling of empathy.

these acts of kindness were not for any kind of showing off, but it was to explain my best experiences. it may encourage others and motivates others to help needy people. because life is all about humanity and empathy. and together we will be able to make a better society.
