Go out and Greet 10 people..
November 21, 2007 is the 35th annual World Hello Day. Anyone can
participate in World Hello Day simply by greeting ten people. This
demonstrates the importance of personal communication for
preserving peace.
World Hello Day was begun in response to the conflict between Egypt
and Israel in the Fall of 1973. Since then, World Hello Day has
been observed by people in 180 countries.
People around the world use the occasion of World Hello Day as an
opportunity to express their concern for world peace. Beginning
with a simple greeting on World Hello Day, their activities send a
message to leaders, encouraging them to use communication rather
than force to settle conflicts.
As a global event World Hello Day joins local participation in a
global expression of peace. The World Hello Day web site address is

31 winners of the Nobel Peace Prize are among the people who have
realized World Hello Day's value as an instrument for preserving
peace and as an occasion that makes it possible for anyone in the
world to contribute to the process of creating peace.
