Dear Colleagues in Kindness at South Grafton Public School,

Wow what can I say! Mr Watson informs me this is the 5th year the school is celebrating World Kindness

Week with special assemblies and presentations. South Grafton holds a special place in my heart as a

school which genuinely has embraced this campaign to make a difference from our classrooms to our

staffrooms and within our corridors of government. When I saw the school proudly receive its certificate of

membership to World Kindness Australia from Her Excellency Dame Marie Bashir Governor of NSW in

Government House only two years ago, it was testament to the difference Kindness can make.

I wish I could be there this year to share and participate in your activities and hear your stories, however I

am giving the closing keynote presentation at the International World Museum Conference representing 40

nations on How Your Organisation Can Become An Agent For Positive Change.I think the students of

South Grafton could no doubt be a perfect example of this. I have included the letters we received from

Her Excellency Marie Bashir, Governor NSW, The Hon Mike Baird, The Premier of NSW and Cr Clover Moore,

The Lord Mayor of Sydney, which students may like to present at the Assembly and forward to the Mayor of

Grafton. I also included A Call To Actionaddress which goes out to citizens of all nations and was inspired

by a young school girl, Malala from Pakistan who received the Nobel Peace Prize this year and

demonstrates The Courage of Kindness.

Thank you so much again South Grafton and my very best to the entire School Community in celebrating

World Kindness Week 2014.

Kind regards,

Michael Lloyd-White

Chairman World Kindness Australia

General Secretary The World Kindness Movement

A Quick Update on World Kindness News,

World Kindness Australia has been officially endorsed as the peak national body to represent Australia in the

global campaign for a kinder world. We have been given the charge to take a lead role at the

international table to develop a global kindness campaign to address many issues facing a society that too

often witnesses unkindness. Now elected to a 2ndterm as the Secretariat to the peak global body, The

World Kindness Movement and following the 8thGeneral Assembly hosted in Sydney last month, I sent a

letter to the Prime Minister of Thailand to support Thailand hosting a Global Kindness Summit for world

leaders (The K20). This featured on the front page of the Bangkok Post and is now scheduled to take place

for August 2015 where participating cities and our Prime Minister will be invited to attend. This is one highlight

among the many this year which included.
