Arrow Videos and information related to the Free Hugs Campaign

I couldn't help but smile when watching that video.

I found some other videos and information related to the Free Hugs Campaign that some of you may be interested in checking out:

Videos

  • YouTube - Free Hugs Campaign on TEN News Australia. A brief documentary video on that gives you a little bit more information about the Free Hugs Campaign (ie. how it began, who it involves, why it started, etc.).
    (Video length: 2 minutes 21 seconds)
    .
  • YouTube - Free Hugs Campaign continued. A thank you video message from Juan Mann, the individual who inspired the Free Hugs Campaign. Juan explains about the Free Hug Campaign, how the Campaign has been kick-started in various different countries, and provides some information about his websites (note: see below for information about his websites, although Juan explains it in more detail then I do).
    (Video length: 1 minute 39 seconds)

Links of interest

  • www.FreeHugsCampaign.org - The official home of the Free Hugs Campaign. The website sports videos, photos, a forum, and much more. There is also a sign up form for a newsletter that will provide you updates about any Free Hugs events in your area. You can also support the Juan Mann Free Hugs Campaign by buying a T-Shirt via their website.
    .
  • www.FreeHelpCampaign.org - A recent initiative that Shimon Moore of The Sick Puppies (the band that plays the song in the video found in the first post in this thread) and Juan Mann have launched. A charitable organisation, the website aims to bring together people who can provide help to those in need, and people who can provide help. By providing a forum to offer and receive help, they hope to cut out the "middle man" of conventional charitable organisations and get right down to the individual. In Juan Mann's words: "One person helping another person in any way they can, with no minimum level of commitment. You offer what you can offer in any way you can help."

    Note: The www.FreeHelpCampaign.org server is currently unavailable as of this writing. Hopefully it is working by the time you look at it.


The beautiful thing about life is knowing that we're the ones who get to put it all together.” - Juan Mann

Some people say "you're here to shine." If you look closely, you realise you shine already.
