World Kindness Day
12 November 2018
Today is world kindness day! A perfect day to fall amongst Anti-Bullying Week in a step to make the world a kinder place. World Kindness day is celebrated annually on the 13th November around the world. Other counties that take part include Canada, Japan, Australia, Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Italy, and India.
World kindness day isn’t about changing the world in one day but making little steps to make someone smile by paying them a compliment, protect the planet by picking up some litter from the floor and putting it in the bin or treat someone to a cup of coffee, yourself, a friend, or a stranger! Little things make a big difference and the day allows us to make a conscious effort to help make someone’s day a little better or the world a little nicer.
