In a tearful Facebook post, Natasha Fogle told her followers that a Party City employee made her son’s night by simply “acknowledging his presence and then gifting him a yellow balloon.” Fogle said that as a parent, it shocks her how many people don’t acknowledge kids in general.
A local law firm, Catrow Law PLLC, saw the video and decided to spread the message of kindness to others coining it the #YellowBalloonChallenge. The rules are simple, the firm wrote, “say hello to a stranger, shovel a neighbor’s driveway, pay for the car behind you…just make someone else smile.”
Malta is to regain an air link to Dubai from May, when FlyDubai will begin operating four flights a week between the two.
The Dubai-based airline said on Monday that it will start flying to Malta International Airport from May 12, with two of the weekly flights linking Malta International Airport to Dubai International Airport directly and two others including a stop at Catania International Airport.
It is the first time that the airline has operated flights to Malta.
Malta currently has no flights to Dubai following Emirates’ decision to pull the plug on the destination as part of a series of COVID-19 related cutback measures.
