1On July 20, 1958, a doctor in Paraguay had dinner with some friends. His name was Ramón Artemio Bracho. That night, he had a big idea: a day for friendship around the world. His group started to celebrate on July 30. They wanted people to be friends across all borders.
2In 2011, the United Nations made July 30 the International Day of Friendship. The UN believes that friendship between people and countries can help bring peace. It especially wants young people to make friends with people from other cultures. Back in 1998, the UN even named Winnie the Pooh its Ambassador of Friendship.
3But not every country uses July 30. In Argentina, Friend's Day is on July 20. On that day in 1969, a man named Enrique Febbraro watched the first people walk on the Moon. He felt it was a moment for all people to be friends. He sent 1,000 letters to 100 countries and got 700 answers. In India and the United States, many people celebrate on the first Sunday of August.
4Today, people send messages, give small gifts, and eat together with their friends. In 2005, so many people in Argentina sent messages that phone networks stopped in four cities. You do not need a big party, though. A short message to an old friend is a great way to celebrate.
