Father’s Day is celebrated each year to honour the concept of fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as to recognize the contribution of fathers in the society. This day is celebrated on the third Sunday of the month of June every year. It is a special day for all the fathers of the world – a day dedicated to the male members of parenthood and acknowledge their sacrifice and responsibility in nurturing the lives of their children. On this day, we honour the role that the fathers play in shaping the lives of their children and also celebrate the men who have embraced this essential role of fatherhood.

Father's Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas and wanted to have a special day to honour her and all the father’s in the world.

Now, fathers have often been associated with discipline and tough love. No matter how, we all share a special relationship with our fathers. They are often the unsung heroes in a family, sustaining the family with financial and moral and often invisible support.
