How did World Kindness Day 2024 Start?

World Kindness Day was first initiated nearly 25 years ago by the World Kindness Movement. The organization was created at a conference in Tokyo when Japan brought kindness organizations of several countries together and emphasized the need for an international movement. Presently, nearly 30 nations are members of the World Kindness Movement group. 

More than a decade ago, at the behest of Michael Lloyd-White, the Citizens Association, and the NSW Federation, parents contacted the Minister of the NSW Department of Education to place the day on the NSW school calendar. A couple of years later, at the behest of the Chairman of World Kindness Australia, the day was placed on the Federal school calendar by the Minister of School Education, Early Childhood, and Youth. Peter Garrett gave a Declaration of Support for World Kindness Australia. He gave place to World Kindness Day on the school calendar of nearly 10,000 schools. Schools across the planet will now celebrate World Kindness Day 2024 and work with local NGOs such as Life Vest Inside and the Be Kind People project in the USA. 

About a decade ago, Marie Bashir, the then Governor of New South Wales, Australia, hosted a celebration for the first time at Government House to take part in World Kindness Day and got a Cool To B Kind Award from junior school students. Australian Councils representing more than one million residents have also undertaken Declarations of Support for World Kindness Australia by placing the occasion on the Council Calendar of Events. The events held include handing out Kindness Cards, the Big Hug, and a globally-held flashmob, coordinated by Orly Wahba from the USA and took place in more than ten countries and 30 cities with the image of the occasion making the big screens in the city of New York. Canada holds the Kindness Concert, and in Singapore, nearly 50,000 flowers were given away one year. Five years ago, World Kindness Day also took place in Slovenia. It was held by volunteer organization Humanitarček as an aspect of their project Randomised Kindness.

What is the Purpose of World Kindness Day 2024?

The World Kindness Day 2024 is being held to outline the good deeds in the society that focus on the positive power and the common aspect of kindness for good that holds us all together. Kindness is a core element of the human condition which closes the divisions of location, gender, politics, religion, and race. Kindness Cards are also an activity that can either be distributed or give importance to an act of kindness or request someone to do an act of kindness. There have been approaches to the United Nations by the major kindness body, the World Kindness Movement, to have the World Kindness Day 2024 officially recognized by the members and sign a Declaration of Support for a global celebration of Kindness. World Kindness Day 2024 is an occasion that helps people to overlook religion, race, and boundaries.
