World Kindness Day is marked annually on Nov. 13 to celebrate the people who have brought goodness into the world and also to honor those who are trying to make the world to be a better place by little acts of kindness every day.

This day was officially marked in 1998 following the World Kindness Movement. Since then, this day has been observed in the international community. There are several ways to celebrate it, including by donating food, clothes or money to the local community. On this day, one can also do any act of kindness towards any person in need of it.
