Title:
The
Kindness
of
Strangers
On
a
chilly
Saturday
morning,
a
group
of
strangers
gathered
in
the
town
square
to
raise
money
for
a
local
charity.
Armed
with
cameras
and
warm
jackets,
they
set
out
to
capture
portraits
of
the
people
who
came
to
donate.
At
first,
the
photographers
stuck
to
the
periphery,
capturing
the
bustle
of
the
crowds
and
the
vibrant
colors
of
the
nearby
stalls.
But
as
the
day
wore
on,
they
started
to
venture
closer
to
the
faces
of
the
people
milling
around
them,
snapping
shots
of
young
families,
elderly
couples,
and
solo
shoppers
with
equal
care.
They
found
beauty
in
the
wrinkles
on
a
smiling
grandfather's
face,
in
the
bright
eyes
of
a
little
girl
clinging
to
her
mother's
hand,
and
in
the
rough
hands
of
a
farmer
who
had
driven
hours
to
attend
the
event.
There
were
moments
of
laughter,
too:

boy

while
his
friends
egged
him
on,
a
group
of
girlfriends
squealing
in
delight
as
they
posed
for
their
portrait,
a
pair
of
young
lovers
stealing
a
kiss
when
they
thought
no
one
was
watching.
But
despite
all
the
differences
between
the
people
they
photographed,
the
photographers
sensed
a
strong
undercurrent
of
kindness
and
generosity
flowing
through
the
crowd.
They
saw
it
in
the
way
people
paused
to
chat
with
strangers,
in
the
small
donations
that
added
up
over
the
course
of
the
day,
and
in
the
random
acts
of
kindness
that
kept
occurring.
In
the
end,
the
event
raised
more
money
than
anyone
had
expected,
and
the
photographers
left
with
a
sense
of
awe
at
the
generosity
of
the
human
spirit.
They
realized
that
despite
the
many
things
that
divide
us,
we
all
share
a
common
bond
of
compassion
and
empathy.
And
that
even
in
the
most
challenging
of
times,
it
is
this
bond
that
helps
us
to
come
together
as
a
community
and
overcome
adversity.
