The receivers of these stories are often: - older people who are lonely - children in another school far away When a receiver actually listens to a song, reads a story or looks at a drawing, the act is acknowledged. This can be as simple as: - a short thank you message - a voice note or picture in reply - a facilitator pressing a “received” button once the material has been shared in a room At that moment, the smiley is fully confirmed. It is no longer just “a file uploaded somewhere”, but a story that has genuinely been gifted and received. Again, only then does the system count it as a smiley.
