GOOD DEEDS DAY Started in 2007, with a mission to unite people from around the world in doing good deeds for others and the planet. Every year millions of people and thousands of organizations from over 108 countries in the world come together to put into practice the simple idea that every single person can do something good.
This year, along with all other organizations Bhumi is celebrating ‘Good Deeds Day; for promoting the act of doing good as we believe in the words of Oscar Wilde “ The smallest act of Kindness is worth more than the grandest intention”.
As one of the largest volunteer driven organizations in India, we are organizing various volunteering activities for all the enthusiastic altruistic freaks out there. We are starting it in the mid March till mid May , with different activities laid out for everyone to do good and brighten someone’s day.
What initiatives come under Bhumi-GDD?
