When Kay Ambergen returned from Australia after two years, he was unable to find his way in the Netherlands. To cheer himself up, the Coevordenaar started with an online challenge, where he does something nice every day for a month. He puts videos on Tiktok.
“It started as a very spontaneous idea,” says Ambergen. “I came back and didn’t feel very comfortable.” He tried to think about what makes him happy: “That is when people do something positive or say something nice. Then I came up with the idea of giving that back.”
Since then, Kay has made 29 videos in which he does big and small things to cheer others up. He puts this under the name Bekaynd on his Tiktok account. Then you have to think of giving a bunch of flowers on the street. Or cycling at a tandem with someone with an intellectual disability.
