On Dec. 21, Interlakes youth group, Teen Space, performed “Random Acts of Kindness” in 100 Mile House, by giving Tim Hortons gift cards to people who deserved a brightening of their day for no other reason than “because.”

The givers were enthusiastic in approaching the surprised receivers. Some refused, others were caught unaware, some thought a moment and then smiled, and some said “Thank you” many times.

Afterwards, the teens’ stories were inspiring, encouraging us all to give because it feels good, and it is hoped the receivers were as blessed as the givers.

Thanks go to Jaime Cameron and Alice Duits for providing transportation, and especially to Coreen Caldwell for organizing this event, as well as all other teen events during 2015.
