Welcome to the GEP’s International Kindness Club!

Our vision is to promote an ethical society which strives to remove pain, share happiness, and create unity amongst all life on Earth. 

We endeavour to practice kindness in our daily lives, organize activities to relieve suffering, establish local Kindness Clubs, educate children about human values, instil sustainable habits, and inspire the public to live a more compassionate, loving and tolerant life—with a smile.

Club Activities 

Members of our club have so far participated in:

• Coordinating and organizing flood relief activities in Kerala, Mumbai and Bihar
• Tree planting
• Organizing school clubs
• Promoting awareness about reducing use of plastic, planting trees, reducing meat intake, making positive consumer choices
• Providing food in slums, old age homes, orphanages
• Beach clean-ups
• Creating public gardens
• Sewing face masks during Coronavirus.

We also do many small acts of kindness throughout the day, such as just giving someone a smile, being a compassionate listener, making sure that no one sits alone, visiting and caring for the elderly, anonymous donations, paying for someone’s meal, helping animals in distress…

Brief History 

It started with the Students’ Energy Parliament acting as youth coordinator for an essay competition on kindness, in early 2019. After writing our essays, many of us felt that we wanted to do something, and to find others to amplify kindness in the world. So now we are a club of international students and adults who meet online. 

An inaugural ceremony was held on June 22, 2019. Shri. K.P. Mohanan, former CEO of JaiHind TV, distributed Membership Kits to school coordinators. GEP Founder Swami Isa addressed the gathering.

Ambassadors

Ambassadors of the Club are the founding Members, who meet online every 2 weeks to discuss club activities and priorities.
