Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Lollipop Smiles


--by LOAS, posted Apr 8, 2010

I recently started a project called "Operation Smiley Face" with the simple goal of spreading smiles.

As part of this effort I decided to do a "Lollipop Drop" in and around my neighborhood :). I started out by purchasing a couple of bags of lollipops. My son and I then attached a Smile Card to each one.

We then went out and placed some of them in locations where they could easily be spotted, and others  where it would be more of a surprise (like in the pick up area of a vending machine). We  had so much fun doing it, and it has become a regular practice now.

I carry prepared lollipops with me so that 'mready to do a quick "smile drop" wherever I go.  :)
