When people request Smile Cards from HelpOthers, they are asked what they intend to do with them and we regularly receive some amazing responses!  Here are some of those inspiring ideas people have shared, just from the last few days alone:  Jay said, "My wife and I have just started a simple project where over the next month we will hand out free fresh fruit to brighten peoples' mornings. We hope to hand out ~250 fruits and would LOVE 250 smile cards to accompany them. Any chance that's possible?" Jason shared, "I really like what your website is all about.   I see so many people in my community constantly who are down and seem to be having a tough time, especially with regards to work and financial concerns. I would like to help to change this for my community, and maybe if one or two people are helped by your cards, and ideas, maybe an entire town or city can be too. Thank you for trying to make our world a better place." And finally, Stephanie said, "I wish to use these as part of a "global issues" course that I teach at a high school. Service to others is a major theme of the course and these cards would provide them with an opportunity to do acts of kindness for others around the school and community. In turn, they would hopefully see these acts of kindness spread."  What wonderful sources of inspiration to continue shipping out thousands of Smile Cards for free around the world every day!
