World Kindness Day 2018

World Kindness Day is celebrated nationwide annually, 13th November.

It is a day to celebrate and promote kindness in all its forms. World Kindness Day falls on the same day and unites people in kindness globally.

One of my favourite quotes is “Be Kind, because you don’t know what someone else is going through.”

I try to do random acts of kindness in my life. Whether it’s helping someone on the streets. Phoning a friend you know is suffering with depression. Holding the door open for people in shops. It doesn’t take much of our time to do something kind for someone. With so much suffering and disillusion in the world. Start making the world a better place. One random act of kindness at a time.
