Just stumbled across this on The Lad Bible and I thought it was pretty amazing.

They have worked with the 'Because I said I would' social movement which gives people 10 cards on which people can write promises they want to keep to better the world.

To encourage positive change and acts of kindness, we send “promise cards“ to anywhere in the world at no cost. People use these cards to remember the importance of their word, for promises both big and small.

It might just seem like a piece of paper, but promise cards have motivated people to stick with their commitments to better humanity. A heroin addict’s promise to stay in rehab. A young girl’s promise to stop cutting herself. Or a simple promise to volunteer at the local food bank. We have distributed over 1,275,000 promise cards to over 105 different countries!

You can order 10 free promise cards or print your own. Some of the stories on the website are pretty amazing.
