New Delhi: The world commemorates World Kindness Day on November 13 to emphasise the importance of being kind to one another, as well as to oneself and the environment. The day's commemoration attempts to emphasise how compassion binds us all together and has an enormous capacity to bridge national divides.
History of World Kindness Day
The World Kindness Movement held its first conference in Tokyo, Japan in 1997 to bring like-minded organisations from all around the world together on one platform. The day became an annual observance in 1998, and several countries, including Canada, Australia, Nigeria, and the United Arab Emirates, participate.
The kindness movement quickly gained popularity throughout the world. The UK kindness movement began in 2005, and Singapore joined the effort in 2009. From the United Kingdom in 2010 to Australia in 2012, France in 2015, and the United States in 2018, the World Kindness Movement has touched 27 countries.
The World Kindness Movement was finally recognised as an official NGO in Switzerland after a long sojourn.
Theme for World Kindness Day 2021
The theme for World Kindness Day in 2021 has yet to be determined. "The World We Make - Inspire Kindness" was the topic for the year 2020. The 2019 World Kindness Day topic was "Empathy." It was essential in striking the correct notes with people all around the world. It abolished caste, creed, religion, and economic status as grounds for discrimination and differentiation. It placed a higher value on 'humanity.'
Celebrations for World Kindness Day 2021
People, communities, societies, and nations must be encouraged and made aware of the importance of preaching and practising kindness. We should also be kind and take care of our surroundings. Many activities, such as cleaning drives, high tea parties with like-minded persons, pet care activities, volunteering, and marathon runs, could be used to commemorate World Kindness Day.
Empathy for the elderly can be demonstrated by showing special concern on Kindness Day. Attractions for children include activities in schools and educational institutions. Organising food and clothing drives to assist the underprivileged and those in need would shower and fulfil the mission of kindness.
