Founded by Project Harmony (projectharmony.com), on Monday, July 21, National Be Someone Day challenges everyone to take ten seconds to make a difference in the life of a child.
There are so many things that can be done in ten seconds. You can order a cup of coffee or water a plant. You can hear or tell someone a bad joke. In ten seconds, you can change your mind and offer a prayer of thanks. When you walk into a room, you can register the pain in someone’s face and begin to provide comfort. You can praise and honor someone who deserves it.
“At Project Harmony, we believe that all children are someone,” says Project Harmony Chief Communications Officer Angela Roeber. “And all adults can be someone to a child. All it takes is the commitment to stop the cycle of child abuse. On National Be Someone Day, take the pledge to be the person to make a difference in a child’s life. Most importantly, be someone prepared to report when a child trusts you enough to tell you they’ve been hurt.”
Project Harmony founded National Be Someone Day to help end child abuse and bring communities together through education and awareness. To participate, drop off a donation at Project Harmony on Monday, July 21, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Take the pledge on National Be Someone Day at projectbesomeone.org, and use the #BeSomeoneDay to share on social media.
