Free Hugs Campaign Travels The World
In no more than one year after posting the original Free Hugs Campaign video on YouTube, free hugs teams have been mobilized all over the world. The original video has been viewed about 19m times and counting.
Since the first posting of the video on the 22nd of September 2006, the concept has been copied in: Amsterdam, Korea, Scotland, Peru, New York, Bucharest, Venezuela, Israel, Greece, Milan, Tokyo, Syndey, Paris, Manila, Vienna, Portugal, Boston, Helsinki, Kiev, Madrid, Warsaw, London, Vancouver, Slovenia, Ottawa, Hong Kong, Krakow,Eindhoven, Gothenburg, San Francisco…..and the list just goes on and on and on.
The campaign has its own website, ofcourse Wikipedia has a piece on it as well as Squidoo. What a wonderful success for the simple act of reaching out to hug a stranger and brighten a life. Having some Dutch blood in the team, we’d conclude this post with a Free Hugs Amsterdam video. >:)
