As the festive season fast approaches, The Hood App, which creates communities and a sense of belonging among seafarers globally, is reinforcing its commitment to this mission during this special time of year.
The holiday season can be difficult for seafarers, who can find themselves distanced from loved ones and unable to celebrate, often causing amplified feelings of isolation and loneliness. The Hood provides an inclusive environment where users can celebrate their holiday traditions and share experiences with one another.
With its current global user-base which continues to grow since its launch, the platform means that no one need face these challenges alone. To add more cheer during this year’s festivities, The Hood is hosting a special Christmas and New Year’s giveaway. Users who sign up to the app and encourage others to do the same will have the chance to win exciting prizes, including a one-night stay at the Seda Hotel in Manila for two, with bed and breakfast included. Regular initiatives like these via the app, will help to bring joy to seafarers, rewarding them for their dedication and hard work throughout the year.
The Hood has also introduced specialised holiday groups, designed to support seafarers specifically during holidays.
“The groups offer a space for people to connect who are in similar situations and send greetings. We want these groups to give seafarers comfort in the camaraderie of their peers, who understand the challenges of being away from loved ones during such an important time of year,” explains founder, Josephine Le.
The community timeline feature is a central aspect of the platform, enabling members to post stories and snippets about their lives, share celebrations, and also their time onboard. Users from across the globe can share the various ways that they celebrate, providing a glimpse into the broad diversity of tradition and culture within the maritime sector.
The Hood is proud to bring joy, support, and connection to seafarers, to ensure no one has to celebrate alone.
