Guerrilla Hugs on Carnaby Street 2
Mar20
On Friday 18 March, a determined gang of huggers armed with ‘free hugs’ signs and smiles arrived on Carnaby Street.
Their mission: to give out as many free hugs as possible to passers by. Many people were cynical at first, wondering what the catch was, but those who went for a hug all left smiling. Given all the disasters, wars, and cuts going on at the moment, it was great to be involved in a small event designed simply to cheer people up. And even though I was supposed to be on photography duty, I was even ambush-hugged by a passer-by!

I LOVE these people Guerrilla Hugs and am looking forward to connecting with them
To find out about the history of the Free Hugs Campaign, check out the official web site of Juan Mann, the founder of the Free Hugs Campaign.
There’s now a revolutionary way to turn your free hugs into concrete change in the world. On the Hug It Forward web site, you can track your free hugs on a Google Map. For each hug registered, sponsors donate $1 to build “bottle schools” – schools built from plastic bottles and other re-used plastic “waste”!
Happy hugging!!!
Great project! Our project was strictly for fun, but I reckon we would have made a few hundred dollars if we got a dollar a hug!
