Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Playing Smile Tag


--by HeavenSense, posted Dec 18, 2012

I happened upon HelpOthers.org a couple of weeks ago and immediately fell in love with the idea of Smile cards. 

I had no ideas about how to implement this wonderful new game and then, one day last week, the opportunity came to me. I looked down after exiting from an appointment and saw someone's driver's license and bank card on the ground! 
 
I was immediately excited because my first chance to play Smile tag had appeared! 
 
I tried to find the young man's phone number with no luck, I messaged someone with the same name on Facebook but got no reply. Finally, a couple of days later, I visited a branch of the bank the card was from and they offered to contact their customer and return his property. 
 
I was grateful and my only request was that the Smile card be passed along too, so he can tag someone else with kindness. 
 
What fun! Looking forward to my next opportunity to share Smiles!
