How do we celebrate this day?

Global Family Day is a day for sharing. The activities don't have to be big but it can be simple and heartwarming.
 	Families can come together and share a meal where they can discuss ways to spread the message of peace.
 	We can also mark it by reaching out to neighbours and people in the community and share a meal with them. We can give to the needy too.

We celebrate this day to take the time out and appreciate our global family, even if we are all from different cultures, countries or religions.
