International Day of Friendship – July 30

Founded to promote peace and unity through friendships across cultures and communities, World Friendship Day is celebrated annually on July 30. The concept originated in 1958 in Paraguay, initiated by Dr. Ramon Artemio branch and his friends, who launched the World Friendship Crusade. In 2011, the United Nations General Assembly officially proclaimed July 30 as International Day of Friendship, emphasizing the importance of friendship and fostering peace between people and nations. 

On this day, the United Nations Association – Pasadena Chapter invites you to answer this question: What is one way you make time for your friends during the hustle and bustle of daily life?
