Friendship Day is the day you rejuvenate the bond you share with your friends.Your friendship matures over age and you respect it further as you grow older.
This is the day you let your friends how much they mean to you.
Friends become the family we choose
These people are the special ones who add meaning to our lives and make it beautiful. They are there to share your sorrow, joy, achievements and failures. When things don’t seem to be going all good for you, they are the ones who help you focus and get back on track. They never leave you alone.
Friendship day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August every year and this year in 2022, it falls on 7 August.
Cherishing Friendships
Life is a long journey and it is more difficult for children who do not have anything to share with each other, apart from their making them smile with little gestures of love. Thank your friends by standing beside them through their thick and thin. Let them know you care and that they can count on you when in need.
Friends could come from any walk of life, work, acquaintance, college, tuitions, school or even from the neighbourhood. Most of the time of a child is spent in school.
School is the place where most memories are made.
Chit-chatting in class, playing with friends, sharing mid-day meals (MDM) during the break, etc. make unforgettable memories.
NGOs play a major role in making memories
Many NGOs run the Midday Meal Scheme (MDM Scheme) and become the bridge to make childhood better. One such organisation is The Akshaya Patra Foundation which serves mid-day meals to children.
Become a friend to children who need you
Donate to feed the children coming from challenging socio-economic backgrounds and become their unseen friends. Your relationship strengthens when you know that your help to these children can feed them for one full academic year.
Honour the friends in your life by feeding children and making memories like you did in your childhood. You can become the reason why such children make strong bonds of friendship and friends who stick on for a long term in life.
Make new friends this year – little orphans, children who stay far away from home, children abandoned by their parents, etc.
