I have had 3 people refuse food from me. It makes sense that not everyone would trust some stranger offering them food. So far, no one I have given food to before has refused the second time. I am starting to feel pressure to keep that record going (I must keep cooking good food).
I ran into Ruth again. This is the third time I gave her food. I spent a little more time with her. My goal originally was to not get noticed by people so that I would not get a direct benefit from doing the kind act (their gratitude or friendship). However, I am starting to revise that idea. I feel I give Ruth a bit more by being there for her for a few minutes. I told her Merry Christmas and gave her a little pat on the shoulder as I left.

This project is a challenge in which I try to do one altruistic act a day.
About
This blog is an attempt to inspire people to do nice things for others. There are many people doing great altruistic acts of kindness everyday. I hope to do only a little altruism each day as an inspiration to others.
The definition of altruism is "concern or regard for the needs of others, entirely without ulterior motive." Thus, my goal in this project is not to be identified in any way. I want to help others and to inspire others to do the same.
I hope to use the comments as a way for others to highlight their efforts and to further motivate people.
