The International Day of Families is observed annually on May 15.
The day was announced by the UN General Assembly in 199, and the objective of this day is to celebrate the importance of families, people, societies, and cultures around the world.
Families are considered the foundation of every society. A person spends most of his/her formative years with their families and that is why the day needs to be celebrated.
International Day of Families gives an opportunity to promote awareness and resolve matters related to families. A family shapes the future of children.

AFTER calling Fiji home for about 50 years, Geoff Taylor has many a tale to tell.
There was the time he met movie star Robert Redford at the Savusavu Yacht Club, a plan hatched at the same venue to sail eight-foot dinghies around the world and how he turned an old copra storage shed into a major attraction in the Hidden Paradise of Fiji.
And because he did so much over the past five decades, Mr Taylor jotted it all down in a book titled
Not My Fault – Memories of a Field Geologist in Fiji.
