This coming July 30 is UN's International Day of Friendship that aims to promote peace among countries and cultures. We may be diverse in so many ways but this celebration will hopefully help countries to have harmonious relationships with one another.
Due to the crisis that the world is currently facing nowadays, it may be difficult for all of us to celebrate it personally. To address this, we have prepared different virtual party themes that you may adapt to celebrate International Friendship Day and other special events with your family, friends, and loved ones!
