Hi, G'Day, Kia Ora, Dude, 'Sup, Nau Mai - World Hello Day

Word Hello Day! November 21 
The objective is to say hello to ten people on the day. By greeting others, the message is for world leaders to use communication rather than force to settle conflicts. The event began in 1973 by Brian and Michael McCormack in response to the Yom Kippur War.
Since then World Hello Day has been observed by people in 180 countries. It has garnered accolades from people around the globe including politicians, religious leaders, and celebrities. If you're a visitor, Otaki’s friendly and welcoming townspeople will be one of the things you will remember most about your visit to our beautiful coastal town.
