Two faith-based Richmond schools put cultural differences aside and came together for an annual display of goodwill.
Students from Richmond Jewish Day School and Az-Zahrra Islamic Academy served food in the Downtown Eastside today, honouring a three-year-old tradition known as “Random Act of Kindness Week.”
The tradition started at RJDS, and commemorates the life of a former student in the Jewish community who was known for her kindness and generosity to others.

“We were reluctant, we weren’t sure how it would be received,” said Richmond Jewish Day School teacher Shoshanna Burton.
“We got together and we fell in love.”
