On May 2007 Ruach Tova (NGO) launched the Good Deeds Day project- initiated by Shari Arison, Chairman of the Arison Group and organized by "Ruach Tova", with the support of the Arison Family Foundation. On that first Good Deeds Day 7,000 Israelis, from all over the country, joined by volunteering.  By the following year 12,000 Israelis volunteered in one of 500 projects and last year, during the third Good Deeds Day, 20,000 Israelis joined in.

High school and college students, IDF soldiers, retirees and groups of employees from dozens of companies as well as many private individuals gave a few hours and opened their hearts to help those in need.

Good Deeds Day had become a tradition in Israel, and this year it is going international. The 4th Good Deeds Day will take place on March 16th, 2010.  We inivite you and your fellow students, community members and colleagues to join us on this day by organizing a Good Deeds Day project in your community!

"Building upon the amazing work of past years, more and more individuals and groups, companies and organizations are looking to take part in this day of social activism by doing for others.  The increase in numbers of those looking to volunteer all year round, reminds us of the importance of Good Deeds Day," says Rafi Elul, Chairman of Ruach Tova NGO,  "The essence of Good Deeds Day- the desire to help others- is contagious."

This year for the first time, Good Deeds Day is going international! Over 40,000 already participated, how about you?
