🌍💙 Happy International Friendship Day! 💙🌍

Friendship knows no borders, languages, or cultures.

As international students, we come from different countries, traditions, and backgrounds, yet we find a home in one another. Through shared experiences, late-night conversations, cultural exchanges, and countless memories, we’ve built friendships that make every journey meaningful.

Today, we celebrate the connections that unite us, the diversity that enriches us, and the friends who make every place feel like home.

Here’s to friendships that cross oceans, bridge cultures, and last a lifetime. 🌎✨

🌍💙 Happy International Friendship Day! 💙 🌍

🕊️ From Global Anxiety to Collective Hope: An Interfaith Fellowship 🌍

Are you feeling the weight of the world’s "heavy" realities lately? 🫂

Whether you are an international student far from home or a local student eager to connect, we invite you to participate a sacred, inclusive space where international and local students unite to foster a sense of "home" through shared prayer.
In a world facing displacement, economic crisis, and natural disasters, let’s bridge our divides and honor the "common threads" of peace together.

🕊️ What to Expect...
Candle Lighting: 10epresentatives from different countries/religions will pray for specific global crises in their own dialects.
The "Seven Directions" Prayer: A beautiful moment to pray for everything from the wisdom of ancestors to the peace within our own hearts.
The Prayerful Tree: Share your personal hopes and laments by "clothing" a bare tree with colorful prayer leaves.
Shared Silence & Song: Honoring victims of recent wars and disasters, followed by a collective singing of "Make Me a Channel of Your Peace".

Let’s move beyond the headlines and empower one another to be the peace we seek.

📅 Date: 30th April 2026 (Thursday)
📍 Location: SLU Ladies Residence Hall, SLU Main Campus
🤝 Participants: All international and local inbound students are welcome!

“Peace is not merely the absence of war; it is the presence of justice.”
