Juan Mann started spreading smiles one person at a time, by offering hugs. A music video posted on You Tube shows Juan on the streets of Sydney wearing a sign that says "Free Hugs." Watch the smiles grow, followed by a ban, followed by a successful petition campaign to restore his simple gesture of caring. One short video later, Juan has shot to fame and is spreading smiles to thousands now. He was recently featured on Good Morning America TV show, all proof that One Man (in this case Juan Mann) can change the world!

    Thanks for touching my life in ways you may never understand, my life do not lie in material worth but hugging someone like YOU.

    One of my favorite exercises to do at an airport while I wait for boarding... is to pass around a bag of jellybeans to total strangers. (No, I don't give them to children... unless their parents are with them.) It's my way of giving "free hugs."

    Recently I am able to keep my heart open, and as the result, I am meeting people everyday, and before we part, I ask "can I hug you?" and they all warmly say yes! It is such a wonderful feeling! I didn't know there was someone who is doing this in such a big scale! Thank you for doing that, and thank you for a beautiful video.

    Love this.:)Thanks for the inspiring link. A friend of mine just returned from the BurningMan Festival with pictures of a Hug Deli. This is not her photo but it is one I found through Flickr of it, you can select the type of hug…and can be either hugger or huggee…though I suppose it all blends in the action: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=43612492&size=o
