nOurn“assignment” on World Hello Day is super simple: greet at leastnten people today.
n
n
n
n
n
n
nPersonalncommunication, smiles, greetings, simple human kindness are a thementoday, but the goal is to build world peace by starting small andnlocal and personal. The people who created this event, whichnis observed by people in 180 countries, say, “Greet ten people fornpeace.”

n
n
n
n
nApparentlynthis event was inspired by the conflict between Egypt and Israel innthe fall of 1973. Sigh. These days, as you know, there is stillnconflict between Israel and its Arab and Persian neighbors, and wenall want the Gaza conflict to end as quickly and peacefully asnpossible. I guess there is as much need for a World Hello Day asnever!
