| | International Friendship Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | While many people are putting their fingers to the keyboard and communicating at record speed with friends around the world via the Internet, the International Pen Friends Club (IPF) is one of a kind that promotes friendship through correspondence of a different type — the good old way of putting pen to paper. |
 | | Teachers have realised that through correspondence their students have a unique opportunity to learn good writing techniques, develop their existing hobbies or acquire new ones, gain a deeper understanding of subjects such as history, geography, travel, languages, commerce, literature, religion and music and, most importantly, have an opportunity to know the cultures of foreign lands. |
 | | In the name of friendship, friends should never forget values such as honesty, integrity, humility
According to George Washington, "True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation." |
