FRENCH

Tout commence par le mot “Bonjour”. Combien de fois par jour prononce-t-on ce mot magique par lequel commence toute communication?

“Bonjour Maman, bonjour Chéri, bonjour madame, bonjour Thierry, etc…” Que ce soit notre famille, nos amis, nos collègues, ou même quelqu’un d’inconnu, nous commençons par….BONJOUR!

Nous vivons a Singapour parfois depuis de nombreuses années.
Nous pensons qu’il est important de participer a la vie culturelle et locale.
Qui n’a pas déjà appris quelques mots de Singlish grâce aux chauffeur de taxi?
Qui n’aime pas le fameux chicken rice, la spécialité culinaire de la cité état?

Nous avons décidé d’aller a la rencontre des Singapouriens en leur disant….BONJOUR!

Venez nous rejoindre nombreux le 5 Septembre sur Orchard Road, de 11h a 14h, devant Ngee Ann City (takashimaya). Venez avec une chemise ou un T-shirt rouge. Merci de venir vers 10h30 pour le briefing.
Nous vous offrirons boissons et sandwiches!

A très vite!

ENGLISH

As we are already used to say “Hello” to people in the streets, we are taking the Hello Campaign to another level!
By partnering with the French Association AFS-UFE we transform the HELLO into BONJOUR and along with the french community, greet people in the street.

For us, this is really exciting. We haven’t really been exposed to the foreign communities. And partnering with the french is a way to expand our movement and give it an international flavor! Who knows, this can be the beginning of an International campaign whereby we will meet the Germans, the Spanish, the Japanese, the Koreans, etc…

Please come and Join us with BONJOUR SINGAPORE campaign. Make new friends and improve your….French!

So come and join us on September 5th for a great time! You only need to wear a red shirt and bring your…enthusiasm!

See you then!

Hello!

Great News! We made it to the National level, thanks to your support and your enthusiasm!

We made it clear that people do need to say hello to each other and that there’s always room for kindness among strangers, especially at times like this where we need to show support and fellowship to each other.

We made it so loud that the National Day Parade 09 committee heard us, and invited us to be part of their reachout celebrations!!!

And because you put us there, we would like to invite you to come join us again, and say a resounding Hello! to Singapore as she celebrates her 44th Birthday!

It has been a great day!

Thousands of Singaporeans came down to support us and the warm smiles and affirmations we received from the thongs of shoppers all along Orchard Road made our efforts all worthwhile.

Media such as Channel News Asia and Suria came down to cover us, too. Thanks guys!

And this is not the end.

There are more Hello Campaigns to come. Watch out for a big announcement from us soon in end-April as Hello Campaign kick starts the next phase of its movement. We will cover Singapore in a way never been conceived yet!

Tomorrow is our big day!

Join us at 12pm as we begin our preparations. We will be over at the Plaza Singapura Atrium outside Sakae Sushi.

This is one for the record books. While there’s speed dating (a convoluted process of securing your next dinner date at best), Hello Campaigners tried a variation–speed Hello-ing. It’s fun, it’s exciting and best of all, it’s free! Say hi to as many people as you can in one go. We shall be trying it out on April 11th.

Wanna see it in action across hundred’s of people? Join us on Hello Day at Douby Ghaut this April 11th at 12pm. We will see you there!

Our operations manager Didi is given the props as Suria came down to IMM on Saturday to interview him for his role in the Hello Campaign. Suria essentially followed Didi around as he made his Hello rounds across IMM for an hour with a preceding full feature interview.

Great job, Didi! And thank you, Alwiyah from Suria!
