Long Time...Lot's Happening!

Dear Acting Kindly @School Supporters...
A lot has happened in the past months including a great trip to the US where people loved the game, releasing a cool augmented reality app called "Kindness Aliens," getting ready for a Kickstarter campaign for the original Acting Kindly and arranging distribution of Classroom Packs to 77 government schools here in Goa. Let me catch you up...
US for TPP and AK@S
The Pollination Project chose me to be part of their Global Kindness Initiative to give out quite a few $1,000 grants to Kindness projects around the world. They paid for me to join my other three teammates in California for a meeting in July. Decided to spend 10 week in the US making contacts and getting feedback about Acting Kindly @School. The response was phenomenal. People loved the game and happy to have something so full of hope. The best news is that several US states have adopted a Social and Emotional Learning curriculum which our game fits perfectly. Hope next year to be marketing it there.
Kindness Aliens App
We recently released a fun little Augmented Reality app called "Kindness Aliens" for both Android and iOS. The app brings our aliens into the real world using the back of the Acting Kindly cards. You can choose between eight aliens, move the around, change how they dance and then take photos or videos to share on social media. PLEASE get it on the Play Store or App Store, share some great stuff and tell others. It's a fun way to promote the project! Acting Kindly Kickstart...Next Year!
We're going to do a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the original Acting Kindly game which can be played by families, friends, schools or at work. This will be the big opportunity to introduce the game globally. We've produced a really fun video. You can watch it and signup on our website so you can get all our updates at: http://www.planetearthlings.org/acting-kindly-kickstarter-promo-video/
Acting Kindly @School - Donor Packs
During the Ketto campaign we had almost 70 Classroom Packs donated. It's taken quite some time and effort, but after some great meetings various parts of the Government of Goa we have made arrangements to give the game to all 77 English medium Middle Schools. The image is the 77 packs all lined up and ready in our office. Waiting for the final date, but we hope to have a training session for teachers for all the schools soon. That means the game can start having impact on tens of thousands of students in the not so distant future.Wrapping Up...
I'm happy we continue to make progress. The project has been selected to be part of the 91springboard Open House this week and next week I'll be speaking at the biggest game developer conference of the year which is in Hyderabad. There have been some real challenges including difficulties with the printer in Mumbai which have drained my energy and gotten in the way of selling the game. Still, pushing forward and have high hopes for the future.
Do let me know if you have any questions, ideas of connections to help. You can always write me directly at: greg@planetearthlings.org.
Best wishes,
Greg
