Heard of the ripple effect? These young people are proof that good can just keep growing.

“Throw your heart out in front of you and run ahead to catch it.”

“My experience has made me appreciate the power of the ripple effect.”

We’ve all experienced the ripple effect. You throw a pebble into a pond and then watch as that single small action creates wider and wider waves throughout the water. That one small pebble becomes the source of a much broader outcome.


In this inspiring speech, narrator Neha Gupta explains that one person, no matter how small, can effect widespread change in the same way as a small pebble in a pond. She and the other students featured in the video below are working to make the world a better place and encourage other youth to do the same.

“Convert your empathy into action and then let those actions ripple out.”

When the small pebble you throw into a pond is actually an act of kindness, how far can the ripples go?
