BEYOND WORK, THERE IS HAPPINESS!!
In my line of work, being in the field is a usual practice, and I find it more therapeutic when I interact with partners, co-workers, and farmers because it brings joy and happiness.
sesanyi MAULID from Strategis Insurance Tanzania Limited, Alex Rwiza, mathew mtaba, and I from PULA had a great week in the field interacting with our partner MCODE (Movement for Community Development) and the farmers, it was indeed happiness beyond work.
The Role of Kindness in the Survival of Living Beings
The importance of kindness cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in the survival of living beings. From the moment we enter this world, we depend on the kindness of others to meet our basic needs, such as food, shelter, and care. This reliance on others continues throughout our life, with countless individuals contributing to our well-being through their acts of kindness.
Nature offers numerous examples of the importance of kindness in the survival and well-being of living beings. Animals often display acts of altruism, working together to ensure their collective survival. For example, dolphins have been observed supporting injured members of their pods, while ants collaborate to find food and protect their colony.
These acts of kindness in nature demonstrate that compassion and cooperation are essential for the prosperity of living beings. Spreading kindness, whether through simple acts or larger gestures, make a big difference and can have a ripple effect, inspiring others to show kindness and ultimately making the world a better place for all.
Kindness is important not only for the functioning of human society but also for mental health and well-being. A society that embraces the practice of kindness would see a decrease in conflict, stronger communities, and enhanced happiness and well-being for all. Kindness fosters understanding, collaboration, and trust, which are all vital for a harmonious society.
Kindness is not just being generous or helpful or caring. It's about combining all these positive qualities. Each of these attributes can be used to categorise different types of kindness:
Generosity: providing food, money, gifts, and other useable items, for the receiver to keep. Generosity can also be expressed by giving and sharing your wisdom, like a mother teaching her child. When arising from a sense of caring and compassion for others and accompanied by the intention to bring benefit to the beneficiary, these generous acts are hugely beneficial to others and to oneself - they are an expression of kindness.
Helping: doing things for others to help them solve a problem or achieve a goal. Again, when helpful deeds arise from a sense of caring, being generous with your time and offering a helping hand to others is an expression of kindness.
Caring: tending to another person’s personal physical and/or emotional needs. When caring for someone in a practical sense which arises from a strong sense of compassion, this is both generous (with your time) and is offering practical help to another, the combination of which is an expression of kindness.

🌍 What's SOBBATICAL?🌞
At #SOBBATICAL, we're all about connecting travel with making a difference. We want to bridge the gap between traditional #sabbaticals and #social engagement. The platform empowers travelers to participate in meaningful projects abroad, fostering personal and professional growth.
We've developed a plattform #Sobbatical where companies can offer their employees exciting volunteer opportunities in different countries across Europe. It's like a one-stop-shop for companies, employees, and nonprofit organizations looking to do good together. 🫱🏽🫲🏾
Companies use our platform to match their employees with #volunteer projects in areas like social, animal welfare, environmental, and arts & culture. Plus, nonprofits get awesome volunteers with special #skills to help out.
We're not just about matching volunteers, though. We've also got a bunch of partners to help with everything from planning the trip to getting it done. Think of us as your go-to place for making a difference abroad! 🌟
