In South Korea ‘Art of Giving’ was observed at the Hanseo University where students were given pen and study materials.

At Damascus in Syria kids were given date palm packets besides books and literature of ‘Art of Giving’. The celebration is going on at many educational institutes across the globe.

This year’s theme of ‘Art of Giving’ is ‘BAG OF HAPPINESS’. The gift hamper contains gears for learning including books, pen, etc.

AOG was celebrated for the first time back on May 17, 2013, and since then every year this day has been celebrated as International Day of Art of Giving.

Dr. Achyuta Samanta, founder of Art of Giving had struggled a lot for getting educated, in his early days. And hence he was determined to eliminate sufferings. In this pursuit, he found that the key to true happiness and peace lies in unlocking the ‘Art of Giving’ in each individual. Perhaps this notion paved the way to the initiation of ‘Art of Giving’.

Every year, this occasion is celebrated based on a specific theme chosen to reflect the challenges and imperatives of life. This year’s theme ‘Bag of Happiness’ has been decided keeping in mind ‘learning as a lifelong process’ and nothing can resonate with it better than education as education develops a perspective of looking at life.

This year Art of Giving is being celebrated in around 6 continents in 120 countries, 29 states, 250 cities, and 10,000+ villages.
