The Embassy also donated essential food supplies, fruits, and toys for children.

Expressing his joy, Ambassador Shmulik Arie Bass said, “TikunOlam” (World Fixing) is a concept in Judaism that means nurturing and improving humanity's lifestyles, according to the statement.

In modern times,the concept of Good Deeds Day was also invented in Israel in 2007 coordinating 7,000 volunteers in hundreds of NGOs for the society to raise the value of ongoing assistance during all the year to make Humanity and standard of living better in our world. This year more than 110 countries including Nepal have joined the efforts to help make the world better even with a small gesture. Let’s make the World better!”

The Embassy of Israel has been organizing Good Deeds Day in previous years as well, taking a break from regular Embassy work and spending a day doing community work. This initiative reflects Israel’s commitment to social responsibility and volunteerism, for the betterment of the society. 

Good deeds day is an annual tradition dedicated to doing good together, volunteering time, energy and expertise for the benefit of the society.
