Be Kind To Humankind Week is an annual Worldwide celebration of kindness that is observed from August 25th to August 31st. This week is a time for us to reflect on what we can do to make this world and our communities a better place. The celebrations were started with the simple motive that we must do all that we can to make the lives of those around us happier. You don’t have to do anything elaborate to be kind — all it takes is a kind word or helping a friend. Set aside time every day to do something nice for others.
