Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. – Mark Twain

Serve the City International commemorates one day a month to highlight a specific world-wide shared concern. The 13th of November is World Kindness Day. A day to celebrate and practice acts of kindness, just because, for no other reason but simply to make someone smile, feel good about themselves, or lift them up. Kindness has no conditions, has no limits, and is beyond measure. Serve the City believes that “Kindness starts with me” and is the beginning of volunteering, regardless of what it is, from making spreadsheets to painting, to helping the elderly dance and sing, kindness is always the start of something great. How can you be kind today?

A note to current STC city leaders, core teams, and volunteers: STC has created a social media graphics package for each of our monthly world days, you can use these to promote and spread awareness to this global concern and link to this page. You can access this in the STC Lobby under “resources” or follow this link for your World Kindness Day graphics. Don’t have access to the lobby?
