The trails, which will be created by volunteers, will highlight the social-community work in each authority and offer visitors an interactive experience of doing good. Each trail will include landmarks that tell the story of the work done in that region \u2013 from nonprofits and social entrepreneurs to organizations working for the community. The trails will serve to attract community members throughout the year, raise social awareness, and assist in recruiting and retaining volunteers. The launch of the trails will take place on Good Deeds Day itself as part of the event\u2019s peak activities in each locality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rafi Elul, Chairman of Ruach Tova of the Arison Group: \u201cOver the past twenty years, Good Deeds Day has transformed from a single day of volunteering into a social movement that encourages doing good all year round.
