Every weekend, an agro-market takes place at the Turdakun Usubaliev Square, where local farmers sell their goods. On weekdays, they exchange their market stalls for good deeds, bringing fresh produce to the "Kolomto" shelter and other social institutions in the city. These visits have become not just deliveries of goods, but a true good tradition, always met with joy. "We ourselves become kinder," share the participants of the initiative, observing the happy faces of the children and people they help.
This act of kindness coincides with the Day of Spontaneous Acts of Kindness, as well as the upcoming holy month of Ramadan, which will begin on February 19. Psychologists, speaking with VB.KG, note that generosity and the willingness to share with others significantly increase the level of inner happiness, regardless of financial status — whether it's millions of dollars or the last candy in your pocket.
Scientific studies confirm that kind acts have a positive impact on our immune system. They reduce stress levels and help combat inflammatory processes in the body. Researchers from China found that helping others can lessen physical pain, while researchers from Tel Aviv University discovered that kind people are subconsciously perceived as more attractive.
Moreover, kindness is an excellent workout for the heart. The positive emotions that arise from helping others contribute to normalizing blood pressure and maintaining cardiovascular health, while negative emotions, such as anger and rage, can adversely affect our "motor." Thus, farmers from Bishkek, generously sharing their harvest with those in need, not only make a valuable gift to others but also take care of their own well-being. They vividly demonstrate that in our challenging times, the best currency is humanity and sincere smiles.
