Get ready for Good Deeds Day 2013! (JewishDC)

Goodness has the power to ripple out and transform everything along its way. By actively focusing on good, each individual can take part in creating positive change, on a personal level for themselves, for their community, society at large and the planet.

Our collective wish for a harmonious world begins and ends with doing good.

Out of the idea that each and every person can do a good deed for the benefit of others, be it large or small, I initiated Good Deeds Day.

Annually, this celebration of giving draws hundreds of thousands across the globe to participate in a festive day filled with good deeds of all sorts. From small acts of kindness such as a smile that brightens someone else's day, to volunteering in hospitals or cleaning beaches, people from all walks of life, any age or background, all join in on Good Deeds Day, uniting around one cause that we all share - doing good.

Good Deeds Day gained worldwide popularity in just seven years. Starting in Israel in 2007 with 7,000 participants, it soon crossed borders and cultures, and this year, on Good Deeds Day 2013 held March 10, hundreds of thousands in 50 countries around the globe will come out to give of themselves for the benefit of others.
