At lunch today, my friend and I witnessed from across the street a group of college young folks giving out free hugs. Of all the days to leave the camera at home…

Witnessing random acts of kindness is always a good thing whether handing out free bottles of water or feeding expired parking meters with dimes.

It turns out that yesterday, September 10, 2007 was International Free Hugs Day expressed in over sixty language groups including Pig Latin: Eefray Ugshay and Braille: ⠠⠋⠗⠑⠑ ⠠⠓⠥⠛⠎

Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man who’s sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. The You Tube video released last September 22, 2006 has already gained over 17 million views creating a international and inspirational viral campaign.
