March 20th is the International Day of Happiness. As we face a global crisis together, let us find positive ways to look after ourselves and each other. 

The International Day of Happiness is, of course, a day to be happy. It is celebrated by the United Nations to recognize the importance of happiness in our daily lives. In 2021, YouShine Foundation hopes to contribute to promoting cheer and joy during these difficult times. 

For this event, we hope to gather photographs of smiles to celebrate the International Day of Happiness.
