"Anything you do, no matter how big or small, can have an effect beyond what you imagined. When other kids see what you are doing and realize that you are making a difference, they might say to themselves, 'Wow, if one kid is doing this, maybe I can too!'...You might start a ripple effect and never even know it! Your words or actions might motivate another person....and maybe another.....and maybe even another to lend a hand."
