Family Matters

Just before the holidays and the start of a new year, we went to Southbank Parklands in Brisbane to spread some real holiday cheer with free hugs and some good friends.

Some truly touching stories were told to us, like a grandmother, whose grandson had been in an accident in the country and had been flown into Brisbane to save his life. She said, "Oh, I needed a hug so much. Thank you!"

As always, we had huggers from all shapes, sizes, ethnic origins and denominations, and the more we hugged, the more we got excited by the warmth and intimate human contact.

Here it is. See for yourself. To join our hug campaign, contact us.
