The role of parents in raising children is the basis and the foundation of our community and society. Parents play a key role as guardians and teachers of their children to prepare them for a happy, productive and fulfilling live. For this reason, this day is celebrated in honor of one of the most important and most responsible life roles .
Global Day of Parents is a great opportunity to thank your parents for everything they have done and do for you, regardless whether you are still young or have found yourselve in this responsible role.
Let’s spend this day with the people who give us unconditional love and who have dedicated their entire life to raising, educating and introducing us to the world.
