#BloodNormal For two billion women and girls worldwide, periods are a monthly reality. And yet, talking about them is still very much tabo The lengths people go to, just to avoid using the word ‘period’, is testament to society’s awkwardness about the subject.

The campaign starts April 1 st 2019, and people are encouraged to participate with acts of goodwill during the first 20 days of April. South Africa’s sender of smiles wants to remind people to recognise the positive around them and surprise someone nice with something special. Caught up in the stress of everyday life, we often forget to thank acquaintances, strangers, friends, colleagues and sometimes even family for making our life a little easier, safer or just plain nicer. We have instances where we need people and they show up such as the car guard that escorted you to your car in the rain under his umbrella, the gentleman in the Polo that stopped to help you with your flat tyre, or the lady that let you go first in the Checkers queue because you were in a hurry.
