Join us for a moderated panel discussion titled “Kindness in the World,” featuring embassy leaders representing Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The panelists offer their perspectives, share reflections, examples, or cultural traditions from their country that demonstrate how kindness builds understanding, strengthens relationships, and connects people across cultures.

The panel will last approximately 30 minutes, with time shared among the four panelists. Additional program highlights will include a keynote address on “Kindness: People-to-People Diplomacy,” from Sec Gen Francesca Donlan of the World Kindness Movement: the presentation of WECAA’s first Heart Award to Felis Andrade of Giant Foods, and recognition of Joan Brammer, former Cultural Attaché of Trinidad and Tobago and founder of DC Kindness Day, with the Founders Award.

Guests arrive at 9:30 a.m., and the program begins at 10 a.m., followed by a light international buffet at noon.
