B. Support Volunteers
Support volunteers can
1. Help spread the message of Our Journey to Smile
This will be through the volunteers’ own network of friends. The wider the spread, the wider the scale of Smiles and Humane Relations we will encourage.
Stay in contact with us
Our on-line volunteers will look into establishing a system of updating support volunteers.
Until such a system of a regular email alerts or updates is set up, we request support volunteers to visit the site regularly for updates.
3. Encourage with letters to Afghans
Write or leave comments to encourage Afghans
4. Share experiences on-line
This would add to the Journey through real stories on humane actions and peace building from various countries eg on inter-racial harmony
