Ben’s Bells are beautiful ceramic wind chimes that symbolize kindness and its power in healing. The process of making them started as a way for Jeanette and Dean to cope after the tragic death of their infant son, Ben. The therapeutic effect of working with clay as well as the power of being surrounded by people talking and working toward a common goal was truly transforming. They decided to make hundreds of the Bells and distribute them randomly in their community to encourage the kindness that they had so depended on to get through each day. Since Ben's death, it was that kindness of others, strangers and friends that had helped them begin to heal and they wanted to find a way to pass on that kindness and to help others in the process.
The mission of Ben’s Bells Project is to inspire, educate and motivate each other to realize the impact of intentional kindness and to empower individuals to act accordingly to that awareness, thereby changing our world. Believe in the power of kindness!

Jim works hard painting the ceramic pieces that will be used on Ben’s Bells. Once the bells are assembled they will be hung throughout the community to encourage and remind people to believe in the power of kindness!
