The DeCouto family welcomes you to their site!

It’s both a privilege and an honour to be involved with such a positive journey.

We must give a warm and grateful thank you to all those who supported what we have been working towards.

The journey has not been easy. We have faced many trials and tribulations but we had faith in our objectives - and never gave up! This is the key my friends. Stay strong in your belief. Be persistent. And never ever give up. You will get there!

We have a distinct motto: ‘ To accomplish the impossible - you have to go there ‘.

In 1994, we began to create and develop the first generation of the Ambassadors of Goodwill - the Thumb Buddies. The entire idea behind the Thumb Buddies was to create unique entities that children could relate to.

The Thumb Buddies were created to impart positive messages in a challenging and some times confusing world.

As the years went by, the Thumb Buddies began to take on a life of their own. They were more than just interesting cartoon characters. They embodied both powerful historical symbols as well as positive animated role models.

The appeal of the Thumb Buddies were allowing us to evolve their characters into much more. It was becoming quite clear that they were the moving force towards safety for kids.

The Thumb Buddies would not just represent positive messages and values but also be involved in the safety of kids. It’s that thinking that developed into the makings of the Thumb Buddies Street Smart Game back in 2006.

The DeCouto family is dedicated to the creation, design and development of concepts that help to protect children and make a positive impact all over this great planet.
