\"IFD_1\"<\/p>\n

When is Friendship Day?<\/h2>\n

The 30th July.<\/p>\n

\"IFD_2\"<\/p>\n

Why do we celebrate it?<\/h2>\n

World Friendship Day was first proposed by a man called Dr. Ramon Artemio Bracho in 1958, who thought a day to celebrate friendship among all human beings (no matter their race or religion) was a rather good idea. Turns out lots of other people agreed, and now it\u2019s celebrated around the world to promote peace among abso-blooming-lutely everyone.<\/p>\n

\"IFD_3\"<\/p>\n

How can I celebrate it with my child?<\/h2>\n
