A man at the bus stop gave his umbrella to a soaked teenager, then walked off into the rain.

I read about the umbrella. Today I paid the matatu fare for a woman who had lost her wallet.

For a woman on route 46.

She got home. I felt lighter than the fifty bob I spent.

An imagined example. Real deeds are told by the people who saw them or did them.

Started leaving a bowl of water for the street dogs outside my shop on Jirón Ica after reading about the bus fare in Nairobi.

For the dogs of Jirón Ica.

Empecé a dejar un tazón de agua para los perros callejeros frente a mi tienda en el Jirón Ica después de leer sobre el pasaje en Nairobi.

Four dogs drink there now. The corner feels friendlier.

An imagined example. Real deeds are told by the people who saw them or did them.

Started sweeping our shared stairwell after reading about the dog bowls. Two more households now take turns.

For everyone in our building.

The stairwell smells of lemon. People stop and talk.

An imagined example. Real deeds are told by the people who saw them or did them.

I walk an old woman home at nine every evening after my shift at the convenience store in Sugamo, since reading about the stairwell in Osaka.

For a woman of ninety who lives alone.

She waits for me with a sweet. The walk is the best part of my day.

An imagined example. Real deeds are told by the people who saw them or did them.

I refuse fares from students on my motorbike taxi at Victory Monument during exam week, after reading about Tokyo.

For students on their way to exams.

Three of them came back with pastries after their results.

An imagined example. Real deeds are told by the people who saw them or did them.

This is the latest deed on this line, for now.
