International Left handers Day is a day to celebrate being left handed, and to raise awareness for the everyday challenges of being left handed in a world designed for right handers.

Celebrated on the 13th August every year, you can help to raise awareness in your own way by planning an event in your school or college to spread the word, or get involved in the chat on Twitter using the hash tag #lefthandersday and wish your fellow lefties a Happy Left Handers Awareness Day.
