World Kindness Day

World Kindness Day is an international observance on 13th November. It was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, a coalition of nations' kindness NGOs. It is observed in many countries, including Canada, Australia, Nigeria and the United Arab Emrites. Singapore observed the day for the first time in 2009. Italy and India also observed the day.

World Kindness Day is to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness for good which binds us. Kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divides of race, religion, politics, gender and location.

KHS celebrated the day with a BBQ, cupcakes, photo booth, kindness notes and small gifts of flowers for staff.

Below is a special thank you from Ms. Masters, who must also be given a huge thanks for organising the day and is someone who always embodies kindness every day.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who made World Kindness Day possible.
