It Forward

in the chain of human kindness.
- Pay It Forward is also an action plan
within a work of fiction. Since the book was released in
January of 2000, a real-life social movement has emerged,
not just in the U.S. but worldwide. What began as a work
of fiction has already become much more.

the benefits it can bring into their lives.
