Where It Started
In 1952, a traveler left a note of gratitude in a Paris cafe. That note inspired the cafe owner to pay for a stranger's coffee. The stranger, touched by the gesture, helped an elderly woman carry her groceries. She, in turn, donated to a children's hospital.
One small act created a trail of kindness across an entire city.
