GLOBAL FAMILY DAY
So let’s start off by honoring families tomorrow January 1st Global Family Day. On this day we honor our families and our common humanity.
“We are all part of a family which is the human race. Although there are many things that can divide us and cause problems, there are also many things that can unite us. We should all work together to attain world peace and end the biggest problems like hunger, war and terrorism. Everyone can contribute and help in achieving the goals of Global Family Day.” Consumer Health Digest
Here are some suggestions for honoring the day.
