MANILA, Philippines – Do you have a Christmas wish for the kids out there?
LINE Corporation, the owner and operator of the free call and messaging app LINE, may just grant that.
Through its global charity project – called LINE Santa Claus – it is inviting 300 million users to submit wishes under the theme “Building a Brighter Tomorrow for our Children” when the account’s ON AIR feature is activated.
Wishes will be open for submission at noon on Friday, December 13, to 11:59 pm of December 15 (GMT+9).
The number of wishes that will be granted has yet to be determined, but LINE said the selected ones will be announced on Christmas Day.
LINE will then work on making these wishes a reality in 2014. Updates will be posted on the LINE official account, as well as on their Twitter and Facebook accounts.
“We further wish to enrich the communication of people around world, and decided to add something to LINE that lets people make a tangible contribution to this cause. To that end, we are asking all of our users around the world to give us their thoughts on what we should provide the children that will be the future of our world,” said Akira Morikawa, CEO of LINE Corporation.
