Waves of Goodness sponsored this documentary, created by BYU journalism students in 2019. It has since been given an award from The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS, also known as the company behind the Emmys): The Best Long-form Nonfiction Film. And before that, this film was also given an Award of Excellence from the Broadcast Education Association.

This was an important project for Waves of Goodness because this pilgrimage played a key part in our creation, and it represents the kindness of the human spirit. Anyone who goes on this pilgrimage will tell you that this journey brings a peace and simplicity, and an openness to connect to anyone, even with language barriers.

What would 50 boxes of cookies mean to you?

A lot of cookies to eat and a lot of calories to work off! Which doesn’t sound awful, but it’s not deep or meaningful either. But to one young girl, they became a pivotal moment of change that would set her life on a completely new and wonderful path.

Waves of Goodness. Our origin story.

Waves of Goodness is more than just a foundation. It’s a belief that each act of kindness reaches beyond just the person served. Years ago, a dear friend shared this story with us of her experience and how it changed her life. It became the inspiration for the creation and purpose of our foundation.

Real struggle. Real help.

The struggle is real. We say that so easily now. Almost dismissively. We often use it to describe what we could call “first world problems”: losing a phone, undesirable work hours or even a hard day with the kids. But for one lady, the struggle was very real. In fact, it was unbearable.
