Ligbron Academy of Technology is encouraging learners, staff and members of the wider Ermelo community to take part in its 10 Days of Kindness campaign from 11 to 20 August.
Each day will focus on a different act of kindness, ranging from offering genuine compliments and thanking overlooked members of the community to helping others, donating essential items and supporting local projects.
The school has invited residents, businesses and community organisations to join the initiative by completing the daily activities and encouraging others to do the same. The campaign aims to show how one act, by one person, can make a positive difference in an entire community.
