About World Kindness Day:
The origins of World Kindness Day can be traced back to a Tokyo-based convention in 1997. A range of associations and institutions based in countries including Thailand, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States came together there and created a āpledge to join together to build a kinder and more compassionate world.ā In the pursuit of this aim, in 1998, they would help to launch the inaugural World Kindness Day. The reason for World Kindness Day is detailed by the World Kindness Movement āto highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us.ā
