But as we talked, I had this horrible pit in my stomach. You should take her home, a little voice said. Her town was barely half an hour away from the train station stop by car. It didn’t make sense to drive her fifteen minutes to another train station just to make her spend 80 minutes on a train. It made even less sense to have her stay at the first train station, waiting over 2 hours for the next train to come.

Last week we received our first monetary donation to help us with the cost of building raktrak better. We want to personally thank them for their generosity.

Thanks again to everyone that supports this cause of setting kindness in motion.

RakTrak Card Concept
So if you don’t know, the basic concept of this site is that you will do something to help someone and give them a card with a trak number on it. Then that person will come to the website, submit the code with a description of the RAK (Random Act of Kindness.)
Ok. Then that person takes the card and does a super awesome kind thing for someone else and… gives them the card. Starting to get the idea?
Kiva is one of my favorite websites. You can continue to loan the same money over and over as it is repaid. It is a wonderful feeling to be making a difference in the world. Please consider joining the RakTrak Kiva Team. You can get started with as little as $25.
