"Sometimes traveling can be stressful, and it has always been AIRMALL's mission to help enhance and improve a traveler's experience by making their time at the airport more enjoyable," said Jay Kruisselbrink, senior vice president, AIRMALL USA. "That's why we're excited to participate in Random Acts of Kindness Week in an effort to do something special for travelers to help brighten their day. In turn, we hope that they will help to further spread kindness by doing something nice for someone else. Even something as simple as smiling at a stranger can have a positive impact on both the giver and recipient."

RAK Week is an annual seven-day celebration of kindness designed to encourage people to make kindness the norm. It was started by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, which inspires people to practice kindness and to pass it on to others. The organization provides free educational and community ideas, guidance and other resources to kindness participants through their website. The organization offers a variety of ideas for people to share an act of kindness during RAK Week, including hugging someone you love, sending a positive note to someone who needs encouragement or volunteering for a worthy cause.

Throughout RAK Week, AIRMALL and its tenants, including restaurants and retail stores, will be surprising airport travelers with special treats each day and sharing kindness tips. AIRMALL also encourages travelers to help flood social media with kindness. Follow @airmallusa on Twitter and use the hashtag #airportkindness to share acts of kindness performed while traveling.
