August 26: Day of Solidarity

The National Day of Solidarity is observed in Argentina every August 26 to commemorate the birthday of Mother Teresa, a Roman Catholic nun and missionary renowned for her charitable work. Established at the request of religious organizations, this holiday honors individuals who dedicate their time to helping those in need. Events are organized by social organizations, religious communities, educational institutions, and volunteers, promoting the virtue of solidarity beyond just extreme situations like natural disasters. According to Father Fabian Nieva from Caritas Internationalis, embracing solidarity should be an everyday attitude. The day serves as a reminder for people to actively participate in acts of kindness and support within their communities.
