Valentine's Day gets all the hype but The Random Acts of Kindness™ Foundation has proclaimed this National Random Acts of Kindness Week.

Celebrated around the world to encourage acts of kindness, the week culminates with Random Acts of Kindness Day, February 17 in the U.S. (in New Zealand, it's September 1). The challenge is to do something kind for a friend or stranger for no reason at all.
