Happy Friendship Day to all! Let’s see how Friendship day was born

Joyce Hall proposed Friendship Day in Paraguay in 1958. It was a global festival that involved the celebration of friendships. The initial day of celebration was 2 August, but owing to conflicts in the United States, it has now been rescheduled to 7 August.

In 1998, Nane Annan appointed Winnie the Pooh as the world’s Ambassador of Friendship at the United Nations to commemorate Friendship Day.The United Nations Department of Public Information and Disney Enterprises co-sponsored the event, which was co-hosted by Kathy Lee Gifford.

Dr. Ramon Artemio Bracho presented the concept of a Global Friendship Day on July 20, 1958, over a dinner with friends in Puerto Pinasco, a village on the River Paraguay about 200 miles (320 km) north of Asuncion, Paraguay.

During said meeting, the World Friendship Crusade was born. The World Friendship Crusade is a foundation that promotes friendship and fellowship among all human beings, regardless of race, color or religion. Since then, 30 July has been fervently celebrated as Friendship Day in Paraguay every year and has also been adopted by several other countries.

During that conference, the World Friendship Crusade was established. The World Friendship Crusade is a nonprofit that encourages friendship and fellowship among all people, regardless of race, color, or religion. Since then, the 30th of July has been ardently honored as Friendship Day in Paraguay every year, and it has also been embraced by numerous other nations.

For several years, the World Friendship Crusade lobbied the United Nations to recognize 30 July as World Friendship Day; finally, in 2011, the United Nations General Assembly decided to designate 30 July as the International Day of Friendship and proceeded to invite all Member States to observe the International Day of Friendship in accordance with the culture and customs of their local, national, and regional communities, including through education and public awareness-raising.

Now let’s a Acrostic Poem about FRIENDS

Bharatham(India)! It’s a magic word. Behind this magic word, a lot of bravery stories and sacrifices of many great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Nehru, Bhagat Singh, Patel etc.., are there to get freedom.

India is a country which was earlier ruled by Britisher and to get rid of these rulers, India fought back and earned their freedom. After a lot of struggles, we got independence on 15th August 1947. India is a free country now and the largest democracy in the world.

What this freedom gave us! Today, we are enjoying the fruit of this freedom in the form of education, health, speech, culture and equality. How we are going to secure and carry forward this freedom to the next level.

As responsible kids we all should stand together and kick out the challenges and take this great nation to different heights. Some of the small steps like Being kind to others , respecting each other’s differences and being strong during challenging times will help our nation to build stronger .
