MISSION: All Out in Arkansas

Affiliated Agent A in Fayetteville, Arkansas, is one committed agent.  This is one of the five missions she’s completed for the Secret Agent L Project since just September!  She’s an excellent example of kindness, and I’m honored to have her on my team.

OPERATIVE:
Affiliated Agent A

LOCATION:
University of Arkansas campus
Fayetteville, Arkansas

TIME:
9:30 a.m.

It had been over two weeks since my last mission and I was ready to do another one. Armed with a greeting card, a package of sunflower seeds, a package of peanuts and my Secret Agent L card, I was ready to go.

It was a lovely morning here in Fayetteville, Arkansas this morning so I decided to take a walk on the University of Arkansas campus and leave my random act of kindness on a bench outside. At approximately 9:30 am on Friday, October 8, I took a stroll with no particular place in mind to find the perfect place for someone to find my treats. I passed a few benches but there were students sitting on them. I kept walking and soon found myself at the Fulbright Peace Fountain.

This was the perfect place! It was funded by 115 individuals and 18 countries, including $300,000 from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. On October 24, 1998, the fountain was dedicated to promoting peace through education in honor of former University of Arkansas President J. William Fulbright, who, as a U.S. Senator, was instrumental in developing ties between the United States and the Middle East.

Students like to sit along the rock ledge of the fountain so I left my package there. Luckily I wasn’t out during a class change time so there weren’t that many students milling about. I left my package and took a few pictures. Mission easily accomplished!
