International Day of Hope
July 12 · Level 6 · #1119 of 2238
An informal day devoted to faith in a better tomorrow and to mutual support. It reminds us that even in hard times there is usually someone nearby willing to help.
How it is celebrated: people share stories of how they got through difficulties, write warm words to loved ones, and join charity drives and volunteer projects. Many simply call someone who is having a tough time.
This is not an official United Nations day. It lives on through the efforts of ordinary people and organisations, so every community can mark it in its own way.
