Did you feel that 2013 flew by way too fast? I know I did. If not for pictures I took through the year, I would be left wondering what had I done that was meaningful especially to my loved ones in 2013. Life past us by too quickly to not do something, even a little something, that can make a difference to another person’s life. Upon this line, Kleenex has decided to embark on this Share the Softness Campaign throughout Malaysia to make a difference and at the same time, help fellow Malaysians to make acts love a priority by pledging to do something nice for our loved ones, not just in words, but by making a commitment to fulfill those promises. In the process, you can stand a chance to win some fabulous prizes as well! Read to know more.
“Kleenex® is synonymous with softness, hence we constantly champion the importance of softness in the everyday lives of consumers,†said Soo Woon Yee, Marketing Director, Kimberly-Clark. Joining Kleenex® to spread acts of softness by making the very first pledges on the Kleenex® Wall of Softness are local celebrities – philanthropist and World Vision’s Child’s Rights advocate Deborah Henry and award-winning actress Sharifah Amani.

The Kleenex® Share the Softness campaign will run from 20 November 2013 till 15 January 2014 and aims to achieve 5,000 pledges, upon which Kleenex® will spread the softness to the underprivileged children of the Fugee School with a cash donation of RM10,000. Through this campaign, Malaysians will be reminded to bring softness into each other’s lives, and also to the lives of needy children in the Fugee School, a non-profit charity organisation that provides basic education to refugee children from Somalia.
“Fugee School is a cause that is very dear to my heart,†said Deborah Henry. “I believe very strongly that we can all make a positive difference in the lives of others hence the Kleenex® Share the Softness campaign is a wonderful way to show our love for others.â€
“Leveraging on digital media is a great way to spread the word, and a good way for us to use our influence for something meaningful,†said Sharifah Amani. “Acts of softness and care make us feel loved, and making a pledge underscores just how important such acts are.â€
The Kleenex® Softness Store will be moving around Klang Valley to reach out to the public, advocating the importance of showing love and care with just a simple act of softness. To encourage the act of softness, the first 500 participants who visits the Kleenex® Softness Store will be able to walk away with Kleenex® tissues by just pledging their act of softness on-the-spot.
