Everyday is International Friendship Day if ask me! It was originally adopted back in 1997 by the UN but in 2011 the UN General Assembly officially announced its inception.
Our world faces many challenges and divisions between people, culture and country. A shared spirit of human solidarity takes many forms, one of the most powerful being Friendship. Friendship between people, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire efforts of peace and understanding connecting communities, building peaceful and meaningful relationships all over the world.
So it is up to us as the custodians of this planet to foster friendships of all kinds in order to restore a better understanding of peace in this world.
Kindness cost nothing, so go and tell someone how much their friendship means to you today.
Happy International Friendship Day everyone!
