History of World Kindness Day
The World Kindness Movement, a coalition of service organizations from around the globe, established World Kindness Day in 1998. This day marked the beginning of a global response to the exploitation of human and natural resources. Kindness, valued in most communities and religions as a noble quality, is the act of being attentive, compassionate, and empathetic toward others and all living beings. World Kindness Day encourages individuals to rise above differences of race, religion, and nationality. According to modern psychology, acts of generosity significantly enhance our well-being and happiness.
