Smiling is a universal sign for happiness.
World Smile Day is dedicated to the smiley face, which was created by Harvey Ball in 1963. He also came up with the idea for World Smile Day, which was first held in 1999, two years before his death. Following his death, the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation was created, with the slogan “improving the world, one smile at a time”. The foundation’s goal in raising awareness for World Smile Day is to “encourage smiles and acts of kindness around the world”. The foundation also raises money to support children’s causes.
