World celebrates Friendship Day

Posted in : Friendship Day

(added last year!)

The world celebrates July 20, the International Friendship Day, thanks to the initiative of Argentine, Enrique Ernesto Febbraro, dentist, teacher and musician who took decades to achieve his objective.  The story goes that shortly after the end of World War II in 1945, Febbraro tried to establish with the United Nations (UN) a day dedicated to friendship.  Over 100 countries have already embraced the idea and their people celebrate International Friendship Day on the same date.  Friendship is very important because in the most difficult times are the friends who help us, and many times we are away from the relatives and need to rely on friends that we met.
