INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FAMILIES 2022.

Today, the 15th of May 2022 is celebrated around the world as lnternational Day of Families. This year's theme is "Families and Urbanization"  which aims to raise awareness on the importance of sustainable, family-friendly urban policies. In it's resolution 44/82 of 9th December 1989, the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) proclaimed the international year of the family. In 1993, the General Assembly decided in a resolution (A/RES/47/237) that 15th of May of every year should be observed as the international day of families. This day provides an opportunity to promote awareness of issues relating to families and to increase the knowledge of the social, economic and demographic processes affecting families. The happiness of any nation begins with the well-being of the families and the social ties of the people that live in it.












QUOTABLE QUOTES (WORDS ON THE MARBLE).

"Our family is a circle of strength of love with every birth and every union the circle grows"

"Families are like branches of a tree. We grow differently but our root remains the same"
