World Hello Day Every year, November 21 is World Hello Day. They say one of the goals is to say hello to ten people on the day. By greeting others, the message is for world leaders to use communication rather than force to settle and mend conflicts.
This event started in 1973 to react to the conflict between Egypt and Israel. Since then, World Hello Day has been pragmatic and is celebrated in 180 countries by politicians, religious leaders and celebrities. Folks around the world use the time of World Hello Day as a chance to convey their concern for world harmony.
This day it is also an opportunity to celebrate world language learning with our friends and family. Psssst Psssst ... Of course this celebration shouldn’t stop in November.
Why don’t we start and learn how to say “Hello”, “Peace” or “Welcome” in other languages??

Many people have written about World Hello Day to United Nations: Am leaving here what President Ronald Reagan wrote:
quote
“Peace begins in the human heart when selfishness and fear are replaced by charity and hope. In reaching out to others in friendship, you spread the spirit that is the foundation for peace within the home, the community, the nation and the world.
May you receive the same friendship you offer, and may God bless you and all whose lives you touch.

Nao me recordo quem foi que disse mais ou menos isto: Para que o mal triunfe, basta que o bem se cale".
Um graozinho minusculo de boa vontade pode fazer uma pequena diferenca...
