“Being kind to others does not require the bravery of a lion, but it just needs us to be a little bit more courageous.”

Gift of Kindness
By: Janice Kok Jea, Nyeo Yi Lei Eilace, Steffi Tan Xin Min, Thaddaeus Tan Jian Quan, Ng Wei Zhi, Ernest, Phoe Chuan Yi, Benny.
Aim:
To encourage Singaporeans to be kinder by raising their awareness on the effects of receiving kindness, and how easy it is to share the joy.
Why:
Believe that Singaporeans do not lack empathy, but lack responsiveness and courage that is required to be a kinder society.
Where:
In public areas (including Plaza Singapura and Orchard)
What:
Students of River Valley High encouraged members of the public to write encouraging notes for another person. Coupons were also distributed; participants were encouraged to pass the coupons to someone else, allowing that person to exchange it for a goodie pack.
How:
Passersby were participative and encouraging; one of the quote left on the Post-It notes read, “Kindness is everything but insignificant”.
