This Saturday on 30 July,2022 will be World International Friendship Day. Friendship Day is celebrated to honour the symbolic value and appreciation for one another and to remind you why they’re your friends or bff. Every year,the first Sunday in August, is Friendship Day. In 1958, the first ever Friendship Day was celebrated.Celebrating International Day of Friendship online as well as with community activities in local communities aimed at bringing those of different backgrounds together. Some countries like Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, United Arab Emirates, and the United States mark Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August every year. Will you be celebrating this special occasion?I know I will be celebrating it with a few close friends of mine,it's sort of a tradition we have since highschool..

I'll try to remember to send vanny an ecard on that day. (I usually forget to tell her happy birthday until the day after her birthday. I can't help India is a day ahead of the US. )

@sica98 vanny always teases me because I can't remember that India is a day ahead of the US. When someone asks what you did yesterday, tell them what you did on your yesterday. That way you're always talking about yesterdays. You don't need to remind them that you're a day ahead of them. If they ask about today, tell them what you did for your "today". It's easier that way.

Yeah like here also whenever they asked what you did for today,yesterday or weekend,I get confused sometimes cause of the time difference.

Yes, we celebrate it by tying a friendship band on the wrist of a friend. But it was till we were in school and nowadays we just send a message to a friend by winning him or her "Happy friendship day" only.

This is a good to know information. Thank you for sharing. I believe it is important that friendship is celebrated and given value as most of us go to our friends when we need help and a shoulder to cry on.

You said that it is Saturday July 30, so it's not the first Sunday of August... I am confused.

@sica98 Weird that something "International" is not celebrated on the same day.

@sica98 I am not saying that you are weird, I said that an International Day should be celebrated by all nations the same day. I just read the whole story, only in India is celebrated on the first Sunday in the month of August, in the USA (where it originated in 1935) is the 30th of July.
