I came across this video a while ago and this guy's (Jaeson) mission is so wonderful to say the least. My understanding is that he's taping a series of videos under the theme 365 Days of Love. I haven't seen the other videos yet (which I plan to do) but what Jaeson has done in this video is simply amazing. I love (haha, what an appropriate word to describe this!) the idea and I'm thinking of trying it sometime.
Here's Jaeson's synopsis of what this video is about:
In this 365 Days of LOVE Episode, I was inspired by local church, Newsong, and their ministry Laundry Love, in which they go and pay for people's laundry and talk with them. I picked up some linens and dirty towels and headed over to a local coin laundromat that I always pass by on my way to work. I tossed my laundry into a washer and started talking to those that were also waiting for their laundry to finish. I had a blast!
At first people were surprised that I wanted to pay for their laundry or even talk, but they started to warm up! I met Mel, a sweet lady that moved from the Philippines when she was young; she shared her life's story with me as we sorted her loads of laundry. As she explained hardships she had gone through, I was struck by how much love she had given to others and how moved she was that someone was willing to listen to her for a couple minutes.

Very cool! I met a pastor in Boston who is a good friend of Jaeson Ma/sent me a link to one of his singles.
