Pragna Lal visited the “March for our Lives”, an event held in Boston to end gun violence in the USA after which she showed curiosity to her parents over the event and suggested to help. She went into a long conversation with her parents on how to address the problem of depression and loneliness in kids. With small support, she along with her family launched the Friendship Week, an online-only event in 2018. The aim was to get ten families to do some activities with their kids and discuss the importance of friendship. After the event, many advocacy groups approached her for partnering to spread the word around the globe. The event was joined by over 200 families from Australia, India, Israel, US, Canada, and Mexico. This helped Pragna to realize her dream and she decided to expand this event to a global scale. This year, she was targeting to reach over 10,000 families to celebrate Friendship week in the second week of November. She has already had commitment from 100 schools and few organizations to spread FriendshipWeek to more than 100,000 participants.
