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 between communities. ¹

The Salvation Army has a great privilege of gaining new friendships and building relationships all over the world to support famine, disasters, education, health and helping the International Salvation Army maintain goals within their communities.

Through video and music, World Missions is recognizing International Day of Friendship by  showing some of our international friendships.
