Forward From Here:
If you got a charge out of the movie Pay It Forward and its concept of doing nice things for three strangers instead of “paying back” the person who did something nice for you, check out how its ripples in the real world: The Pay It Forward Foundation underwrites school programs that teach kids about social contribution and creating their own “pay it forward” projects. The Pay it Forward Movement site is a thorough directory of community groups using PIF principles to thrive. A woman who calls herself Ariel even named her blog Pay It Forward.
And while the movie didn’t exactly set the world on fire when it came out two years ago, it seems it will have social impact that will long outlast its brief movement in the spotlight. Getting recognized after the fact is still better than not at all.
