DOES THE SHYANN KINDNESS PROJECT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

We are always touched by the many thank you letters we receive from the children. The following are excerpts from some of the letters received:

SENTINEL PEAK ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL

Thank you for coming to our school and giving us gifts. It really meant a lot to us. Everybody thinks of this school as a criminal's school and you showed us that not everyone feels the same about us. I really appreciate that people come out and visit us and get to know us and what kine of people we are. My kindness will be by helping others in their struggles and difficult times in life. I feel like you have passed down a lot of happiness to a lot of different people that you don't know like us. ~ Jose
Thank you for coming to our school to show us kindness and inspire us. I realize I have been living my life with lots of anger that has come from every problem in my life. I am kind to other people, yet I need to work on being kinder to myself. Please continue talking to teenagers about not bullying and respecting everyone ~ Sydney
I'm not a very nice person, but you've inspired me to have a kinder heart. Even small acts can make a difference to someone's life. Thank you all for teaching me this. I want to share kindness with everyone I meet. ~ Tasia
Your kindness impacted me by making me want to do things for others. I would want to make others feel the way you made me feel when I received those gifts. This project you have made me think of kindness a whole different way. ~ Alex
I really appreciate the kindness of you for spending time to help others even if you don't really know them. That's a nice act from you! I also wanted to tell you that everything you gave us really helped me. I needed a backpack because someone stole it five months ago! ~ Marvin
I appreciate all the kindness you and your foundation showed towards us. Just to let you know how much that meant to me, I was sad all day and that made me happy again, thank you. The kind things that you said are able to be done without even trying made me want to do more nice things. I felt that I should be kinder to people from now on. ~ Angel
You have made an impact in my life already. Hearing all those stories you shared with us makes me want to be a better person. ~ G
As soon as I got home, I took my bag of things that you kindly gave to everyone and I gave each of my friends something and my family just to make them happy. I will try to do at least 5 kind things a day, it's my goal ~ Rachel

I am so very thankful for all of this stuff. I never got as much stuff as this. It made me feel like it was the best day ever! You are the people who made me a better person today. You have made a lot of kids happy just because you are loving people. You are the best people I have ever met! The surprises feel better than Christmas! ~ Jasmine
I am going to pass my kindness to my sister because she has cancer. Also to one other person, my mom. She helped me through everything like homework, going to the hospital and other stuff. I learned that kindness is very special. If you’re kind to other people, they will be kind back, like the way you treat somebody else is the way you want to be treated. ~ Belen
I am writing to thank you for teaching us about kindness. Something I will do is if somebody is being bullied, I will get the teacher that is nearest. My favorite part about the assembly was when you taught us to be kind. What I learned was that bullying is bad. This is why I wrote to you. ~ Cynthia
Thank you for reminding us to be kind and choosing to come to our school. You taught me to respect others on how they are different. ~ Celia
The loss of your daughter has taught me to care and to be kind not just to regular people but to people with any type of disease. I think your daughter would love what you are doing. This act of kindness can change people’s lives. I thought it was so nice of you to come when we were in pain and sorrow. ~ Quiriat
Thank you for the toys. When you gave us all those toys you made me feel happy and kindness. I really, really want you and the rest of them to come back to our school. I am not excited about the toys, I’m happy about telling us kindness. I would love if you can tell us more about kindness. ~ Valarie
I am writing to thank you for choosing Los Ninos for your act of kindness. Your daughter would like how you show kindness. I also learned how to accept others difference. I’m sure your daughter would have liked kindness from other kids. ~ Abel
I want to tell you thank you about the gifts that you gave us. Thank you for showing us how to be kind to people and that when you do nice things to people, they will do nice things to you. The gifts were so amazing. I hope you can come again so we can learn more about kindness. ~ Josue
Thanks for the cool gifts I got from you guys. It was awesome. Now I know to not be mean because it hurts people to be mean. I will pass on the kindness. ~ Ella
I’m going to pass on kindness by smiling at everyone I see that’s upset. I’m also going to stand up for others. I learned that you will get kindness back when you do something kind. ~ Angel

I really think I learned something today. I will not bully anyone. I learned that you don’t bully anyone, even for their skin color and that we are all the same inside of us. Because you look different it doesn’t mean you are different. ~ Lovē
Thank you for your kindness. I will be as nice as I can. I learned that you should treat others the way you want to be treated. The book you read to us was a really good story. I will never be like those mean people in the book. ~ Miguel
I will help and be nice to others. I will not be a bully to anyone in my entire life. If my friends or I get bullied, I will stand up for me and my friends. If they don’t listen I will tell an adult or my mom. I learned that it doesn’t matter what color a person is. What matters is who they are in the inside. ~ Clarissa
I will be kind every day I give you my promise. I will not hang out with bullies and tell them that they shouldn’t be fighting. I will ask new kids if they want to play with me and be my friend. I give you my promise. ~ Brianna
I really learned something today like kindness is the best policy. I will never bully anyone. Thank you for teaching us about kindness and for giving us all those great toys. ~ Ulises
