How to celebrate Jun 23rd

Start your day by celebrating women in engineering with a DIY challenge. Grab some household items and try to construct a simple machine. This activity not only honors the achievements of women in a male-dominated field but also sparks creativity and problem-solving skills.

For lunch, whip up a hearty bowl of porridge in honor of National Porridge Day. Experiment with different toppings like fruits, nuts, or honey to make it extra special. Porridge is not only nutritious but also budget-friendly and easy to make.

In the afternoon, commemorate St. John’s Eve by spending time outdoors. Start a small bonfire or have a picnic in a park. Enjoy the warmth of the fire or the sun while appreciating nature.

As the day progresses, take a moment to recognize the contributions of public service workers on Public Service Day. Write thank-you notes to local firefighters, police officers, or teachers. Small gestures of appreciation can make a big difference.

To honor widows on International Widows Day, consider donating to a charity that supports widows and their families. You can also volunteer your time at a local organization that provides assistance to widows in need.

In the evening, embrace the spirit of letting go on National Let It Go Day. Clear out clutter in your living space or take a relaxing walk to destress. Letting go of physical or emotional baggage can bring a sense of freedom and renewal.

Finally, pay tribute to the history of communication on National Typewriter Day. Dust off an old typewriter or use a typewriter font on your computer to write letters to loved ones. Handwritten letters add a personal touch in this digital age.
