Friend's Day



happy friend's day for all my friends !
Día del Amigo
(spanish, friend's day) is a celebration of friendship, held annually on July 20 in south america countries including argentina, paraguay, uruguay and brazil.
The idea for Friend's Day goes back to Argentine teacher, musician, and dentist Enrique Febbraro, who lobbied to turn the anniversary of the first moon landing into an international day of friendship, along with his rotary club de the once, buenos aires. He argued that on this particular day, the whole world had been friends of the three astronautas. The first official recognition of the day came with decree No. 235/79 by the government of buenos aires province, which authorized the celebration and gave it official nature.
