Out to Launch!

Hooray! Shake Hands with a Stranger is finally launched. You are most likely going to be new to this site so a big welcome from us. You may or may not know what this site is about so here's a little introduction. Shake Hands with a Stranger is the global project where people are going out, shaking hands with complete strangers and then documenting their stories here. We are disappointed that no-one talks to each other these days and we want to change that. We want you to go out and say hello to the next stranger you see. It can be anywhere, the pub, at work, on the train, anywhere! Have a read through some of the stories here on the site to see how Shake Hands with a Stranger is changing the way people look at the world. Once you register you will be able to create a profile, upload photos, document your stories and message other users on the site. Won't that be fun? Have a nice day!
