wall of kindness

Walls of kindness have started to appear across major cities in Iran as people leave clothes for the homeless to take if they are in need. In the city of Mashhad someone installed hooks on a wall with the words, "If you don't need it, leave it. If you need it, take it." Donations of warm clothes then started to appear.

The walls have appeared in other cities with photos on Twitter and Facebook. One Iranian said, "Walls remind us of distance but in some streets in Shiraz they brought people closer together"

- Why are people leaving clothes on walls?
- Does the writing say, "Only take if you are male" or, "Only take if you are Muslim"? Why not?
- Do the people leaving the clothes care who takes them?
-How does the wall bring people closer together?
-What can we learn from the people making kindness walls in Iran today?
