In 1968, the race to achieve the dream of the conquest of space in a few months come to a head, for some time that the man had begun to break down barriers and was producing a universal approach.
This giddy eagerness to transpose the borders of the land and reach the edge of the universe was that men needed more and more close to other men of ideologies, religions or races different, to achieve common objectives (it is always easier to do as a team!).
The specific objective was to reach the moon, and many people were aware that the union with their peers help them achieve this goal faster, as this conquest had captured the attention and interest of all human beings.
The men work together to achieve the desired goal, was the source of inspiration for a person who was somewhere in the world, more precisely at a place called Lomas de Zamora, Argentina: Enrique Febbraro, Ph.D. Dentistry, Professor of History and Ethics, refused to leave to honor the effort of all mankind, since man was building an alliance without borders and begin to establish bonds of friendship among all beings on earth.
To realize his honor, requested help from some friends and people close to his thinking, and formed a team that spent a year working on this idea, under an innovative concept: "My friend is my teacher, my pupil and my classmate . He taught me, I teach. They learn and together we are following the path of life, growing. Only someone who loves you helps you grow. " Thus, as a corollary of their task, instituted July 20, 1969 as the Day Amigo International, coinciding with the arrival of man on the moon.
From there begins a long journey of Dr. Febbraro group to spread the idea and build the necessary consensus to celebrate Friendship Day. Your task was carried out with a slogan: "A TOWN OF FRIENDS IS AN UNBEATABLE NATION", and stressed that ethics would be a celebration, not for profit or to promote consumption.
How do you make a friend? Where found? The teacher commented that everywhere: in the bar, in the office, in another city in the country, around the corner, over the Internet, traveling, between animals and plants, or the world of ideas. It just takes some willingness to love, to listen, to understand, to open the other, to give, to feel pleasure of sharing their happiness and to accompany him on his sentence.
How do you know your friend? "It's easy, because you do not see it, feel it," said our friend Febbraro. He also noted that "My friend is my teacher, my pupil and my classmate. He taught me, I teach.
others also sought to popularize their initiative. In this way meets Lancillotta Mirta Duarte of the Province Mendoza, Argentina, who on July 20, 1988, he founded the Bank of Friendship is now spread to 82 countries. Mrs. Duarte has received numerous awards nationally and internationally, as a continuation of the work undertaken by Dr. Febbraro.
In countries like Chile, friendship day is celebrated on different dates and in this case in October.
