A celebration of kindness today. Online video platform Ganjing World hosted their annual
Be Kind, Be Cool awards honoring creators who highlighted kindness in their content and their
art. Ndidi's Nkubani reports from Times Square. At the heart of Times Square, one message is
taking over the screens. Be kind and be cool. Ganjing World is hosting their annual kindness
awards, recognizing people from around the world who are making kindness a part of their
everyday lives. Be kind, be cool. Ganjing World, which means Ganjing World, is a video streaming and
content sharing platform. It aims to create a positive online environment by promoting kindness
and meaningful content. They launched their hashtag Be Kind, Be Cool campaign in 2023,
encouraging people around the world to share acts of kindness. We hope this kindness is like a seed
and to bring to everybody, especially young people's heart and let it grow. I give it to you,
you give it to her, you give it to him, he give it to him. We got to keep the ball rolling with
kindness, love and integrity. All I know is that when you do it, you smile and you feel good in
your heart. This year's top prizes went to a content creator known as the anonymous Good Samaritan
and the film Bebe's Wish. Meanwhile, bronze prize winners took the stage in Times Square,
counting down to a billboard reveal and also receiving their awards. No matter what, treat
people how you want to be treated. And even if people are just being so rude, kill them with
kindness. Josh Nassar shares the inspiration behind his kindness journey, a content creator
who now has 10 million followers who watch him drive around screaming compliments at strangers.
During the pandemic, I looked at what was going on in the world. There was a lot of sadness. It was
obviously a really hard time for people. So I go, why don't I do the opposite?
Why don't I just literally, I just literally went, boop, boop, let me do the opposite.
The campaign has received recognition from multiple state governors and lawmakers.
Flushing District Leader Martha Flores-Vasquez shares why she presented a proclamation honoring
the movement. Because kindness is my middle name and this is all about kindness. So if I can show
gratitude for people that are doing the good work in New York City, then I'm present.
Today, Ganjig World also opens up submissions for their next round of global kindness awards.
