History:

In the 1970s, the conflict between Egypt and Israel became extremely severe. During the Yom Kippur War, thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed. Some soldiers were tortured brutally and executed. As a response to the Yom Kippur War, in 1973, Brian McCormack, a Ph.D. Graduate of Arizona State University, and Michael McCormack, a graduate of Harvard introduced the concept of World Hello Day. The start of a conversation can be a significant instrument in preserving peace and sanity in the world. Since then, World Hello Day is celebrated all over the world.

Significance:

On this day, people get together and start conversations with a hello. To celebrate World Hello Day, we should say hello to ten people we have never spoken to before.

We should remember the friendships and relationships that have got strained over the years – we should connect with them and mend the relationship. All we need to remember is – it can start with a simple hello.
