“This is a wonderful way to meet others. Who knew I would befriend someone in India or Iraq. It's pretty amazing when you think about it. The fact that someone takes their time to put a smile on my face makes me want to spread that happiness onto someone else. If everyone would participate in this project, many would realize how wonderful people are.”
