Hi Everyone, sorry, I had been posting late for all my posts because of preparation for math olympaid and SA1. Here is my post of International Friendship Day. For this year, the International Friendship Day focussed on friendship within ASEAN. Making friends among the countries of ASEAN is important as they are our closest neighbours.
One of the core historical events which all schools have to commemorate as part of their National Education programme is International Friendship Day.
Officially, the day of commemoration is 21 Sep 97. 21 Sep was chosen this year as International Friendship Day as it marks the day in 1965 when Singapore joined the United Nations as an independent, sovereign nation.
ASEAN stands for Association of South-East Asian Nations which consists of these countries: Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Singapore. Its aims include the acceleration of economic growth, social progress, cultural development among its members, the protection of the peace and stability of the region, and to provide opportunities for member countries to discuss differences peacefully.
Actually, I do not know much about ASEAN. I only visited their countries and hear news about them over the news channel.
The school organised an event on that day with an Angklung Ensemble performed a few tunes. I think the school should organised some food fair of Asean countries so that we know more about their culture. No I do not have any friends from the ASEAN countries. The school should invite more children from ASEAN countries to visit the school.
