22nd May - It's Hug Day!!!
Did you know that 22nd May is "Hug Day" (Dia do Abraço) in Brazil? I had no idea, but that reminded me of a video I saw on YouTube not very long ago, in which a young Australian named Juan Mann offered free hugs in the streets of Sydney. The video was chosen "The most inspirational video of 2006" by the viewers and more than 14,5 million people have already seen it all over the world. You can learn more about Juan and his campaign clicking here. You can also visit their official website. And the next post shows the official video and the lyrics of the song.
So, happy 'hug day' to you all, and a big virtual hug!!! Why not send one to other blog readers in our 'comments' section?
