This quote by the late great Maya Angelou nails it... "Do the kind thing even when nobody notices because the reward is in the doing." Take pride in the kindness you share today with others because of people like you; our world is somewhat kinder. #edutwitter

I've lived in the UK for 2 decades. I've built my life and dreams because of the kindness shown to me by the British people as a refugee. The violence we are witnessing on our streets doesn't represent the true British values I've come to know. We should fight it with better
