Our world faces many challenges, crises and forces of division — such as poverty, violence, and human rights abuses — among many others — that undermine peace, security, development and social harmony among the world’s peoples.
To confront those crises and challenges, their root causes must be addressed by promoting and defending a shared spirit of human solidarity that takes many forms — the simplest of which is friendship.
Through friendship — by accumulating bonds of camaraderie and developing strong ties of trust — we can contribute to the fundamental shifts that are urgently needed to achieve lasting stability, weave a safety net that will protect us all, and generate passion for a better world where all are united for the greater good.

Whilst friendship may be to strong a term for our little blogging group it is great to see that although we are a weird, eclectic, and opinionated bunch we have a shared hobby and are only to happy to help each other out, and provide advice and support when needed.
I remember the positive and supportive posts I received when I was trolled for a post on my 20mm Jackson’s Army of the Valley. Others have lost “fur and feather” family members and the group has reached out to them.
We have posted on, and spoken out on world events (Roger still has the Ukrainian Flag on his masthead), and I hope we will continue to do so.
It is good to know that while we may be typing away by ourselves in our little part of the world, today on World Friendship Day, that we are not alone.
Well said Dave, a lot more understanding would go a long way in this world
Definitely grateful for the group of fellow hobbyists and bloggers I’ve gotten to know through this. Cheers Dave.
I think we all are.
Hear hear! Happy World Friendship Day through blogging, celebrating our diverse and quirky shared hobby!
Great reminder that friends know necessarily have to even be in the same physical location to provide support and positivity in another’s life. I would dare say you, Guru, are on the net positive when it comes to being one of the best Blogger friends, Cheers!
You embarrass me, but thanks for the compliment. I try!
We all go through our share of trials and tribulations in life so it’s nice to be able to have shared interests with like-minded people, something made that much more special by that fact that those people are spread across the globe!
Agree wholeheartedly John.
We do have a good little loose circle of people here. I just wish there was some way that we could have regular games with one another, but even those of us who live relatively close to one another actually live quite some way in practical terms!
Well said- I do very much enjoy this blogging community.
Cheers,
Pete,
Agreed Pete. It is a great group. Nerds all!
