Empathy Challenge Org. An organization and challenge targeted to create a global community to spread happiness. We want to inspire people to do favors for strangers – without expecting anything in return – share it on social media, and pass on the baton.

Treat people as if they’re your distant relatives. I was subtly introduced to this idea while I ...
