NeighbourGood

Bringing Good to the Neighbourhood.

This year, the Art of Giving celebrates the theme *NeighbourGood: Bringing Good to the Neighbourhood*, inspiring a culture of kindness and togetherness right where we live. NeighbourGood invites us to reconnect with our communities by sharing meals, offering help, gifting small joys, or spending time with those in need, fostering stronger and more compassionate neighborhoods. Guided by the vision of Prof. Achyuta Samanta, who believes in the transformative power of giving, this movement encourages us to make kindness a way of life. By embracing the spirit of NeighbourGood, we can create ripples of positivity, strengthen bonds, and build happier, more inclusive communities.
