Daily Holidays - December 3

International Day of Persons With Disabilities Disability Day, or the International Day of People with Disability, is a day that has been promoted by the United Nations since 1992. The aim of Disability Day is to encourage a better understanding of people affected by a disability, together with helping to make people more aware of the rights, dignity and welfare of disabled people, as well as raise awareness about the benefits of integrating disabled persons into every aspect of life, from economic, to political, to social and cultural. Disability Day is not concerned exclusively with either mental or physical disabilities, but rather encompasses all known disabilities, from Autism to Down Syndrome to Multiple Sclerosis. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/disability-day/

Roof Over Your Head Day Many of us take for granted the fact that we have shelter readily available, and that we can choose to spend time indoors under a solid roof to avoid wet or unpleasant weather. Roof Over Your Head Day draws attention to those who are not so fortunate, and reminds us to be appreciative of the little luxuries we enjoy. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/roof-over-your-head-day/

Make A Gift Day Dull greeting cards, gift vouchers and last-minute gifts aren’t the most exciting present to receive for Christmas. Go a step further for a friend or family member, and take part in Make A Gift Day by hand-making something for someone in your life. It doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect, or if it’s not expensive – it’s the gesture that counts! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/make-a-gift-day/
