circles impact world
Doing good holds the power to transform us on the inside, and then ripple out in ever-expanding circles that positively impact the world at large.
positive-thinking simple deeds-done
Doing Good is a simple and universal vision. A vision to which each and every one of us can connect and contribute to its realisation. A vision based on the belief that by doing good deeds, positive thinking and affirmative choice of words, feelings and actions, we can enhance goodness in the world.
deeds good-deeds
Even a smile is a good deed.
home elderly listening-ear
Each one of us can do a good deed, every day and everywhere. In hospitals in desperate need of volunteers, in homes for the elderly where our parents and grandparents are longing for a smile, a listening ear, in the street, in our workplaces and especially at home.

For too long, humanity has acted with an outrageous lack of responsibility. We wanted everything for ourselves: greed, really. We failed to look at the overall picture and did not take into consideration those with whom we share the world.
differences kind-deeds volunteer
Putting forward your positive energy connects you back to basic human values which we all share. Good Deeds Day shows that no matter the size of the gesture, a smile that brightens someone elses day or volunteering in your community, we can all take active part in making a difference.

trying way world
The Ahmadinejads of the world, the bin Ladens of the world, will not change their ways, regardless of how hard we try to explain to them that peace begins with them.
attitude everything-happens-for-a-reason matter
Once you realize that everything happens for a reason, attitudes towards matters such as illnesses, or lawsuits, for example, change.
