PAY IT FORWARD

Pay it forward is a movie about a child that helps people and in exchange they have to help others too, they can’t pay it back. The idea is having acts of love and kindness among strangers. That way the world would become a place where we all help each other, a more caring place. It is a beautiful movie with a beautiful message of uninterested actions and love. And although this movie is not based off of real events, it is based on the novel by Catherine Ryan Hyde. And she helped found the PIFF (Pay It Forward Foundation) in 2000.

This foundation was created to inspire growth for the Pay it Forward philosophy, causing a ripple effect from one person to the next. This idea has inspired countless acts of kindness and people all over the world to make it part of their lives. The foundation published the Young Readers Edition of Pay it Forward and this has become a special source for teachers, also motivated parents and students to participate in community service and raising money to support kind acts of the foundation and other organizations. Every day they are seeking new ways to introduce new generations to this idea and share stories. This foundation is now fundraising to bring a new coin program. The coins will increase the rate of kind acts globally and make stories to many more through social media. This is still in process.

Once they raise enough funds to complete the web programming, the coins will be available for purchase. Each coin has a unique code, so all stories related to its kind are shared with everyone. You can set up your own coin profile, so all future holders learn the story behind its purpose. You pass the coin with other people along your act of kindness and all prior members are sent updates each time new stories are available when the coin is passed. You can also watch it travel.
