Armstrong Baillie is his name, and good deeds is his game.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cI busk during the week, playing the drums and kazoo dressed as The Good Giraffe. Then I use the money I get from busking to do good things for people.”, Armstrong describes in an interview with The Sun.<\/p>\n

He does nice simple things for people.\u00a0 Armstrong has purchased coffee for people, cleaned up beaches, and handed out water bottles to runners.\u00a0 He has also dropped off toys to kids in hospitals.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

These good deeds have given him worldwide attention:
\u201cSince I set up my blog<\/a> I\u2019ve been getting requests from all over the world\u2026 I\u2019ve also had emails from Germany, Malaysia, Hong Kong and even Syria”.<\/p>\n

It’s always good to see someone paying it forward and hey, it also helps that he really enjoys it!\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are always happy to see me. It puts a smile on their faces.”, Armstrong says.<\/p>\n

Peace & Love,
Jon
