June 1 – International Day for Protection of Children. 

"We were all Children once. And we all share the desire for the well-being of our Children, which has always been and will continue to be the most Universally cherished aspiration of Humankind."

In Armenia June is made a real festivity for Children by the cultural and entertainment organizations. Different events are held in Armenia.

Today is the International Day of Families, May 15. It is celebrated at the United Nations headquarters and around the world. The family is a microcosm of the global community and the most intimate social unit, the school of love. Let us strive to strengthen these small but critical units found in every society so that we may advance as one human family toward greater progress.

Earth Day - April 22, 2014

Today is #EarthDay and so this one is easy. Today, do something - anything - to improve the condition of the planet. Recycle or pick up garbage lying by the side of the road or monitor your water usage. Turn off faucets when you brush your teeth and don’t run your shower for five minutes before getting in. Try to incorporate one small act of kindness to the earth into every day and soon you will be making a huge difference. Let me be the first to thank you for your excellent efforts.
