Let’s be kind to one another

Even though being kind to others should already be an involuntary gesture, World Kindness Day on 13 November gives even more reason to be kind.

According to TimeandDate.com, the day was created in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, a conglomeration of kindness organisations around the world.

The unofficial holiday aims to encourage people to be kind to each other and spread happiness, joy and peace.
