The Kindness Fever Project by Maya and Olivia

Two local students, Maya and Olivia, have launched the Kindness Fever Project to encourage simple, everyday acts of kindness among young people. With support from Templestowe Park Primary School, their project includes activities like The Kindness Tub, where students share anonymous compliments, and The Kindness Stones, featuring positive messages placed around the school.

Their project struck a chord with Active Manningham, and we’re proud to help share their message. A4 posters promoting kindness are now displayed throughout Aquarena, and quotes created by Maya and Olivia are being featured in our newsletters to continue spreading their message across the community.
