Recognising the Good Deeds of Individuals
Recognising the good deeds and contributions of people is the best way to appreciate their efforts in making a positive impact on the society. We can recognise the good Samaritans through social media, news outlets, community events or showcasing them in the application tools used for these type of events. This can inspire others to follows their footsteps and promote culture of kindness and compassion to the society. Here are some of the ways to recognise the good deeds of individuals:
- Express gratitude – Thank the person who did the good deed, through a card or note or in personal. This will make them know how much their action meant to you or to others.
- Share their story – Share the story of the person who did a great contribution through social media or news outlets. This helps in inspiring others to follow their footsteps and promote a culture of kindness.
- Award or certificate – Recognise the person’s good deed through an award or certificate of appreciation. Both local and international organisations arrange such awards to congratulate individuals who have made a significant contribution to the society.
- Public recognition – Recognise the good deed of an individual through a public event or ceremony. Invite community members, friends and families to this event and be a part to celebrate the person’s contribution to society.
- Pay it forward – Also recognise the person’s effort by paying it forward. Challenge others to do a good deed for someone else and share their story.
