Auckland, July 2 (IANS) A New Zealand man is asking people to help break the world record for the largest group hug.
More than 10,000 people are needed to break the record currently held by Alba Iulia in Romania, the New Zealand Herald reported Saturday.
Organiser Andrew Male, from Christchurch, said on Facebook: ‘This will be a symbol of something very special — home, pride, national identity, call it what you will — it will be moving and wonderful event.’
The Facebook page has 4,900 people signed up as attending. An application has been sent to Guinness World Records, Male said.
The event will be held on the anniversary of a series of quakes that began in September last year, killing over 180 people.
