On November 13, the world celebrates International Kindness Day.
It was established in 1998 in Japan by the World Kindness Movement to remind people that even the smallest acts of kindness can change the world.
Although this day is not officially celebrated in our country, the young Usum students are confident that kindness is not something that needs official recognition — it is something to be remembered and practiced every single day and every single moment.
With this belief, the 3rd “E” grade of Usum School marked the eve of World Kindness Day by presenting an inspiring performance titled “Let’s Speak the Language of the Heart.”
The aim of the event was to show that kind words and caring attitudes are just as important as knowledge, work, or success.
The stage performance opened with a symbolic character — The Frozen Heart, who was born into a world where people had forgotten how to listen, smile, or reach out to one another.
Her voice filled the stage with coldness and darkness, until a little girl appeared — whose warmth, gentle actions, and sincere smile slowly melted the ice around her.
The dialogue between the girl and the Frozen Heart became the central message of the play:
even the coldest heart can bloom with love when touched by a small act of kindness.
The performance was enriched with music and dance, including the world-famous song “Let It Go” from Frozen, symbolizing the transformation of coldness into light and life.
Later, the students dramatized Nader Ebrahimi’s fairy tale “To Whom Shall I Give My Little Heart?” — a touching story where children pondered who truly deserves their pure hearts, eventually realizing that everyone needs kindness and love.
This segment became a beautiful metaphor for human warmth, family, and emotional generosity — emphasizing that the heart only grows when it is filled with love.
At the end of the event, director S. Tamaryan congratulated the participants — especially the young Usum students — and expressed confidence that their desire to spread kindness will not end with this performance, but will become a guiding principle in their lives.
To not think freely is to not think at all!
