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.
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 e-mail 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 for you to implement from Sept. 11 through Sept. 21st. That’s all there is to it.
