Compassion

Yesterday, I phoned my niece to say " Hello " to her. My niece is a primary one student and she likes to help others. Sometimes she helps her teachers to carry books to the office.
She told me that she had just received a certificate of compassion. I asked her whether she did something good. She told me the following : "--Last week, I saw a classmate fell down and injured herself and I brought her to the general office for first aid. I was awarded the certificate of compassion because of this. "
Hearing this, I complimented her: " -- You have done a good deed, keep it up. --"
It is really good that the teacher praised her by giving her a certificate. Other young students also can learn to be compassionate to others.
Do you agree that compassion should be cultivated from young?
