So much people in need
Parce qu'il y a des gestes simples. Tant de sites fleurissent aujourd'hui pour nous donner des informations, nous proposer des petits gestes. On dit que "le temps c'est de l'argent", alors donnez-donc un peu de votre temps et de vos connaissances pour donner de l'eau, du riz, de la farine, à des gens sous-alimentés.
Pour ces deux sites, il suffit juste d'entrer et de cliquer :

Free hugs
Parce que dans des moments pareils j'en aurais bien besoin...
Sometimes, a hug is all that we need.
"Free
Hugs" is the 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.
What we then witness can only be described as awe inspiring.

Parfois, un câlin (une étreinte) est tout ce dont on a besoin.
"Free Hugs" (câlins gratuits) est l'histoire réelle et controversée de Juan Mann, un homme dont la seule mission était de tendre la main et d'étreindre un étranger (des étrangers!) pour éclairer leurs vies, leurs journées.
Maintenant, on peut observer cela avec respect.

Comment tout a commencé : (désolé j'ai la flemme de traduire pour l'instant)
I'd
been living in London when my world turned upside down and I'd had to
come home. By the time my plane landed back in Sydney, all I had left
was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to
welcome me back, no place to call home. I was a tourist in my hometown.
Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers
meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling
faces, hugging and laughing together, I wanted someone out there to be
waiting for me. To be happy to see me. To smile at me. To hug me.
So I got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. I found the
busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft,
with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides.
And for 15
minutes, people just stared right through me. The first person who
stopped, tapped me on the shoulder and told me how her dog had just
died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary
of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now,
when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. I got down on one
knee, we put our arms around each other and when we parted, she was
smiling.
Everyone has problems and for sure mine
haven't compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even
for a moment, is worth it every time.
