TEXT I
International Day of Friendship
Sharing the human spirit through friendship
Our world faces many challenges, crises and forces of
division – such as poverty, violence, and human right abuses
among many others – that destroy peace, security,
development and social harmony among the world’s
5 peoples.
To confront those crises and challenges, their base
causes must be addressed¹ by promoting and defending a
common spirit of human solidarity that takes many forms –
the simplest of which is friendship.
10 Through friendship – by accumulating bonds² of
camaraderie and developing strong connections of trust –
we can contribute to the fundamental changes that are
urgently needed to achieve durable stability, make a safety
net that will protect us all, and generate passion for a better
15 world where all are united for the greater good.
Thus, the International Day of Friendship was
proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the
idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and
individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges
20 between communities.

TEXT II
Count on Me – Bruno Mars
If you ever find yourself stuck¹ in the middle of the sea,
I’ll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see,
I’ll be the light to guide you
5 Find out² what we’re made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one, two, three
I’ll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like
10 Four, three, two
And you’ll be there
Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do
Oh yeah
