Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Gabriella van Rij, on air from December 19th on.
KINDNESS EXPERT, GABRIELLA VAN RIJ, DISCUSSES THE BALL OF HUMAN KINDNESS® CAMPAIGN
The ball of Human Kindness® movement began during November 2013 in Tulare, CA and has since made its way across the nation, making news wherever it goes. “The ball represents a child or adult someone that does not know how to fit in or someone that feels it cannot belong; to a group, family or even your spouse or partner,” says Gabriella van Rij [pronounced “Ray”], widely acclaimed kindness expert. “As a society, we have dropped the ball of Human Kindness®. Will you help me pick it up?”
A tireless speaker and consultant to students and school faculty, Gabriella has travelled across North America, speaking at school assemblies, corporations, and community halls, providing a practical approach for ending bullying and creating safer communities through her 4-step kindness program. “One moment, one person, one kindness—is all it takes to help someone go from a negative space to a positive place, BE the difference!
