It is important to know about Jayme Illien's background that she was an orphan who rescued from the streets of Calcutta, India, by Mother Teresa’s International Mission of Hope charities. Her fate turned better when a single white American woman, Anna Belle Illien adopted her. She was the founder of the Illien Adoptions International INC. The conclusion of this story that the life can turn better and everyone deserve a happy life.
We celebrate the International Day of Happiness since 2013 around the world. The initiator of this event was the grandson of Nelson Mandela,Ndaba Mandela and the daughter of Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton. Two years later the UN formulated 17 development goals that seek to end poverty, reduce inequality and protect our planet which lead to well-being and happiness.
During the years UN promoted the event with the song of Pharrell Williams "Happy", which was the first 24 hour music video of the world. This year the UN promote this world day with the Smurfs. On this occassion the United Nations invited everyone to celebrate the International Day of happiness using hashtag #SmallSmurfsBigGoals.
