ACTION WW IW I I WOODED DE The Game Of Doing Good (NAPSA)—Maybeit is better to give than receive, but many believe it is the combination of both that has the power to change the world. That’s the idea of giving back by paying a good deed forward—and watching that kindness spread on and on. For example, if you help three people and the next day they each help three more, and the day after that those nine people help another three, and each day afterward everyone in turn helps three more people, your single act of kindness may have touched more than 4 million people in just two weeks. The idea of creating this seemingly endless trail of giving and receiving—of doing something good and passing it on—was the inspiration behind the Giving Game. The gameis provided by The LEAGUE, a national youth service organization, and focuses on multiplying acts of kindness throughout communities. Here’s how it works: First, visit the game’s Web site at www.GivingGame.org and order a batch of cards. Next, perform a kind act for someoneelse. It is easy, and can be almost anything. Simply help a friend complete a task, say something nice and unexpected, run an errand for a friend, buy a cup of coffee for a stranger, or pay the toll for the next personin line. Along with your good deed, leave behind a game card—acalling card that inspires people to do something nice for someoneelse. Each card has a unique ID number .
