Indonesian City Declares “Gan Jing World Day” to Honor Kindness Initiative

Indonesian city officials have formally designated March 28 as “Gan Jing World Day” in recognition of the online platform’s efforts to promote kindness through digital engagement. The proclamation by Batam City acknowledges how the platform’s #KindnessIsCool Video Awards have inspired thousands of positive actions globally while creating a safer online environment.

The recognition comes after Gan Jing World (GJW) successfully organized its global kindness initiative that reached communities in over 50 countries. According to the platform’s announcement on Wednesday, city officials presented GJW with a certificate and formal proclamation highlighting the significant impact of their kindness campaign.

The official proclamation specifically mentioned the Video Awards’ influence: “WHEREAS, Gan Jing World’s Kindness Is Cool Video Awards inspired over 26,000 acts of kindness across 50+ countries; and WHEREAS, this movement has enriched schools, communities, and millions online; NOW, THEREFORE, I proclaim March 28th, to be: Gan Jing World Day in the city of Batam, Indonesia.”

H. Muhammad Kamaluddin, chairman of Batam City’s Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD), led the recognition ceremony and expressed strong support for the platform’s mission. “On behalf of the leadership and members of the City DPRD, I extend a warm welcome to Gan Jing World. Spreading kindness means spreading life. Kindness is not just a necessity—it is what makes good people truly remarkable,” Kamaluddin stated during the event.

Multiple city officials joined in acknowledging GJW’s contributions, including Tri Wahyu Rubianto, head of the Education Department, who praised the platform for creating a safe online environment accessible to all users. “Together, we can create a truly positive digital community,” Rubianto remarked.

Rudi Panjaitan, who heads the Communication and Informatics Department, encouraged local residents to actively support the platform’s kindness initiatives, stating: “Kindness is our shared hope, and each of us has a role in making it a reality.”

The designation comes amid GJW’s expanding presence in Indonesian educational institutions throughout 2024. The platform has distributed educational materials via community volunteers, hosted information booths at school events, and conducted webinars reaching approximately 2,000 school principals and teachers across five Indonesian cities in collaboration with the country’s Education and Culture Office.

In a related development, local officials celebrated State Junior High School (SMPN) 29 Batam for winning the bronze prize in GJW’s Kindness Is Cool Contest. The achievement will be showcased on New York City’s Times Square Billboard during the awards ceremony scheduled for March 28.

Education officials visited the bronze-winning school on Tuesday to personally congratulate students and staff. During this visit, city officials announced plans for substantial renovations of the school’s facilities. The education department has also designated SMPN 29 Batam as a model for other local schools, encouraging the integration of similar kindness-based activities into curricula throughout the region.

Purwanto, Head of the Education Department of Purwakarta City, emphasized the broader significance of the platform’s mission: “We welcome Gan Jing World as a friendly and kind digital platform for everyone. Our children need a platform of kindness—one that can contribute to world peace. Let’s build a clean and safe world together.”
