…reached half-way around the world.

Two friends of mine just returned from an Alaska cruise. The price of the cruise included tips for all the service employees. The porter who was assigned to them was very friendly and did an excellent job of getting them settled in their cabin. As a result, they tipped him with a twenty dollar bill anyway. The next day, this porter came up to them thanked them profusely. He explained that he was from Indonesia and because of my friends’ generosity he was able to phone his wife whom he hadn’t talked to in several months. He went on to tell them that he was able to talk to her for over an hour because of that twenty dollar tip and this made him very happy. In this case, a small act of kindness reached half-way around the world.
