16 Days of Kindness

6th November marks the beginning of 16 Days of Kindness. This collective celebration encompasses Australia's Kindness Day (6 November), World Kindness Day (13 November), UNESCO's International Day of Tolerance (16 November), and National Children's Day (20 November).

Every act of kindness we are involved in validates someone, gives out an 'I care' message, and sends a tiny ripple of hope around the world. It also has the added benefit of making us feel better about ourselves.

The Australian Kindness Movement website has lots of great ideas for random acts of kindness to put into practice. At this stressful time of year, the simplest action can make all the difference. If you would like to read more about kindness, the library has a wealth of resources to explore.
