Proclaimed in the Decision of the United Nations, July 30th was declared the International Day of Friendship, and this day is the unique opportunity to remember all the people who make your life more complete and better, the family of your own choosing, your friends.

To mark the International Day of Friendship, the UN encourages governments, international organizations and civil society groups to hold events, activities and initiatives that contribute to the efforts of the international community towards promoting a dialogue among civilizations, solidarity, mutual understanding and reconciliation.

On this day, recall all your old and new friends, hang out and spend as much time with them and show how much you care about them. Give your friends a token of appreciation; a flower, friendship card or a band wrist, or just invite them for a cup of coffee or lunch.
