On the 7 March 2015, when most of us were having our weekend break, more than a hundred students from Girl Guides of Singapore (GGS), Singapore Scouts Association (SSA), and St John Singapore (SJS) gathered for the launch of Kindness Badge 2015. Attendees were briefed on the scope to carry out kindness related projects to impact the Singapore community.
The Kindness Badge Awards (KBA) was successfully launched on 13 November 2014 with the GGS and SSA. For the inaugural year, the projects were quite influential in its reach. The projects ranged from a pledge to return trays at food centres, to being more gracious to one another on the daily commute, just to name a few. For 2015, Singapore Kindness Movement has the privilege to have SJS on board. Thus, the Singaporean society can look forward to a bigger reach for these campaigns to hit the heartlands with a new mix of fresh perspectives to spread kindness within the Singaporean community.
Spreading kindness within Singapore can be quite a daunting task for anyone. The KBA was created to recognise these efforts by the students and allow them to experience the benefits of starting, showing, and sharing kindness with everyone they meet. Look out for any sort of kindness projects you might see these coming months!
