5 minutes of caring

Mix It Up

by Sam Davidson (Tuesday, November 14, 2006)

Sit down for lunch with someone different.

Tolerance.org is encouraging students around the world to "Mix It Up" at lunch today. In an attempt to erase the stereotypes that keep us in our collective groups, students are challenged to eat a meal with someone different. We're daring our readers to do the same. Today, when you grab your grub, ask someone to join you. Find someone you've never eaten with, someone you've never spoken to, or someone you know needs a friend. If you're feeling generous, treat them to lunch or dinner. When all of us sit and sup with a stranger, the world shrinks tenfold.

I think this counts. As I was recently in London i came across a homeless person asking for spare change. Instead of giving him the change, I bought him a meal at the local cafe. He ate heartily and was grateful!
