Practicing Kindness All Over The World
I followed the links inserted in our calendar by Miss W. and found this amazing initiative called Kindness.com.au in Australia, Acts of Kindness.org in the United States, Kind Acts.net in Canada, among other 16 Countries. They are all connected in the same aspiration to a new level of solidarity that is bringing humanity together in our days. Born in Japan, in 97, the World Kindness Movement has been slowly spreading abroad with the aim of building “a kinder and more compassionate world“.
So, if you would like to participate in the annual week specially dedicated to acts of kindness, please
- Read about the concept of kindness itself, according to the Australian or the Canadian Kindness Movements.
- Try to practice one or more of the suggestions scheduled in the American Foundation Calendar
- You may also make some research in any of those kindness sites, find out what they are suggesting for schools and communities maybe even in your area or create your own initiative.
- Share your kindness experience and spread the word in a blog post, by commenting on your friends posts or both. (Please remember to link to this post so we may join you soon)
“An act of kindness is a spontaneous gesture of goodwill towards someone or something – our fellow humans, the animal kingdom, and the kingdom of nature. Kind words and deeds come from a state of benevolence, generated by a core response deep within all of us.
When we carry out an act of kindness, it is a message from one heart to another, an act of love, an unspoken “I care” statement.” kindness.com.au

A random act of kindness is when you see someone that needs help and you just go voer there and help them out.

A random act of kindness is when someone does something for someone who didn’t ask and did it for the right reason and not for the wrong.
