In November 2007, Bell School inaugurated its first annual Kindness Week celebrations. The programme was organized wonderfully by the Kindness Committee, which was formed by members from all participating classes and all 140 members of the staff. Students from different classes were given item-lists that were requested by the local organizations dedicated to charity, and children donated generously in materials. Cash donations were requested (optionally) only for Kindergarten children, whose parents generously donated a sum of over Rs.27,000. The money was used to provide excellent lunches for two old age homes and school for mentally challenged children.

Kindness Tree
Each child was rewarded with a Kindness Heart for each act of kindness they did. They wrote behind the heart what act of kindness they had done, and then pinned them up as pairs on the Kindness Tree. Two Kindness Trees were made - one for the Kindergarten school and one for the Primary, Middle and High schools. The Kindness tree was blossoming with acts of Kindnesses, and encouraged more children to perform more acts of kindness every day.

Representatives from many classes went to the Home for the Aged Blind, the Children's Ward at the Palayankottai Govenment Hospital, School for Deaf Children, Special School for Mentally Challenged children and two Old age homes. All organizations were chosen to be in Palayankottai so that we can frequently stay in touch and continue to be of help to them whenever we can. The first Kindness Week programme organized was so successful that we have decided to make it an annual event, and that the seeds of Kindness planted in all our children will carry on throughout the year.
