The Annual Global Compassion Games, Survival of the Kindness last for 11 days. They begin on September 11th, a National Day of Service and Remembrance, and end on September 21st, United Nations International Day of Peace. The Games are part of the 11 Days of Global Unity and CASADY YAC PEACE WEEK
Why to Play? It is easy and rewarding to be kind. Nobody can calculate the ripple effects of doing good for another, the Earth, and even for oneself.
Who writes the game’s missions? The International Kindness Team, Andy Smallman, founder of Kind Living and the Puget Sound Community School with David Spangler, American Spiritual philosopher write the daily kindness missions. Fish illustrates them.
How to Play: It's free. Go to http://compassiongames.org/ and Sign up. You will receive, via e-mail, 11 kindness missions from Sept. 11 through Sept. 21st. That’s all there is to it. The missions will also appear at the Casady Compassion Games Blog.
