26-year-old Luke Cameron

decided to do at least one good deed (善事) a day, for

365 days after a good family friend died in October, 2013—and he made it!

He said: “Maura was like a mother to me. She was the most amazing and

inspirational(鼓舞人心的) woman I've ever met. When a neighbour needed food, she

gave her last potato. When a friend needed money, she gave her last pound. She gave

her whole life helping others around her and at her funeral（葬礼）over 4,000 people queued for 3 hours to

get in and show their respects. ”

Luke performed his first good deed on January 1st, 2014, with the simple act of greeting a waitress at

a cafe he visited. The next day he bought food and drinks for some homeless people and followed it up by

giving coins to a woman who did not have enough to feed a parking meter. Though most of his kind acts

have been welcomed, Luke says there have been a few embarrassing situations. For example, when he

bought a sausage roll for a homeless man, but the man happened to be a vegetarian who didn't eat meat or

fish.

To try to encourage others to perform good deeds, Luke has created a deck of cards(一副牌). They're

called "Cards for Kindness" and each card suggests a simple act of kindness -- things like giving a stranger

a hug or making peace with an enemy. All the money he collects from giving out the cards is donated to a

charity--the British Heart Foundation.

Luke's generosity didn't go unnoticed-- to reward (奖赏) the young man as he was near the end of his

journey, Domino's Pizza awarded him a year's supply of free pizza. Not surprisingly, the big-hearted

youngster used the gift to hold special pizza days for charity.

And that is not all -- since starting his challenge, Luke also entered a competition run by Utility Aid to

win the job of National Philanthropy (慈善事业) Manager. That's also known as The Nicest Job in Britain.

His Good Deed challenge made the organizers think that he was the right man for the job. So, for the whole

of 2015, Luke will be paid to travel the UK and assist 45 different charities.

Luke has also decided to continue his challenge for another year and says the experiment has

completely changed his life. He said: “I think I have healed myself by helping others. I've gone from

working part time in a shop to now the National Philanthropy Manager where I am making my life's work

about helping others and I've raised thousands for charity.”
