Free Hug Day To Be Celebrated Around The World

Posted on September 8, 2007November 30, 2019 by Roger Carr

Juan Mann landed in Australia with no family or friends to offer him a hug. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he made a sign with the words “FREE HUGS” and held it up for everyone to see. He felt great with every hug given and so did the others who participated.

That was the spark that started the Free Hugs Campaign. The campaign has now spread all around the world.

Would you like to become a part of the Free Hugs Campaign? There is a group at Facebook who is celebrating Free Hug Day on Monday. Everyone is invited to participate. You can learn more at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2412896548.
