World Kindness Day~November 13, 2013

Origin of World Kindness Day:

World Kindness Day evolved from a series of conferences in 1996-1997 in Japan by a group known as the World Kindness Movement. These conferences brought together groups interested in promoting more kindness around the world.  It culminated in the "Declaration of Kindness" on November 13,1997. With this declaration, a new and very special day was born.

World Kindness Day encourages us to be kind to others, helping to create a nicer, better world.

According to the World Kindness Movement website, World Kindness Day is intended to "build a kinder and more compassionate world".

Use today as an opportunity to be kind to family, friends, neighbors, and others. You will find kindness rubs off on others, and generates even more kindness.
