Let Me Hug You
Society
Not being left out of the world event, International Hug Day will also be held in Armenia.
The participants will move from Northern Avenue to the Republic Square with wallpapers that read “Let me hug you”, “Free hugs”, “Hugs and smiles are free”.
On the opinion of the participants they’ll better their mood, will give smiles and will have an interesting time.
Everything began a few years ago, when Australian Juan Mann arrived at the airport of his country, but nobody was meeting him. He decided to take a marker and write two words on a big sheet of paper: “free hugs”. At that moment a woman who was in the same situation approached and hugged him. That way the long-awaited smile appeared on their faces.
His video was viewed 73 million times on YouTube; Juan received an award as a creator of the most inspiring video.
