Among adult users of Facebook, the average number of friends is 338.

Rob Jones is trying to meet all the friends on his Facebook page in real life. He is travelling to many countries and meeting people face-to-face. His aim is to raise money for a children’s charity.

So far he has already met 123 friends from ten countries. When he meets them, he takes a photo and asks them to give some money to the charity. He has already raised more than £3,000.

Rob hopes to meet all 700 friends within three years. He is travelling thousands of miles to many countries, even to the other side of the world.

Many people say that Facebook friends are not real friends. But Rob does not agree. He met his Polish girlfriend online and they have been together for three years.

Rob says the internet is a powerful tool. He is meeting new people and learning a lot about himself. Now he has good friends in many different countries.
