November 13th, 2023 marked World Kindness Day, which is a global day of observance dedicated to promoting and celebrating acts of kindness. World Kindness Day had its start in 1998 when the World Kindness Movement established it to encourage kindness throughout communities. Each year, this day serves as a reminder to spread kindness and show what a positive impact kindness can have on the world. It encourages those around the world to partake in acts of kindness and foster positive relationships with those around them.
Although World Kindness Day 2023 has come and passed, we thought it was important to share the special aspects about the day. There are many ways to celebrate kindness, and we encourage everyone to continue this celebration throughout the year, not just for one day!
Some simple, yet effective ways to participate in World Kindness Day are:
Partake in acts of kindness
Spread positive messages, whether in person or online
Volunteer your time at a local charity or nonprofit organization
Donate to a cause you believe in
Teach the young people around you the importance of kindness
