World
Smile Day is celebrated on the first Friday in the month of October
every year. The idea of World Smile Day was coined and initiated by
Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts. Harvey
Ball is known to have created the Smiley Face in 1963. The World's first
World Smile Day was held in the year 1999 and has been held annually
since. After Harvey died in 2001, the "Harvey Ball World Smile
Foundation" was created to honour his name and memory. The slogan of the
Smile Foundation is "improving this world, one smile at a time." The
Foundation continues as the official sponsor of World Smile Day each
year.
In many countries, Teachers' Days are intended to be special days for
the appreciation of teachers; WORLD TEACHERS' DAY is celebrated across
the world on October 5 ever since the importance of teachers has been
recognized by UNESCO. This includes celebrations to honour the teachers
for their special contribution in a particular field area or the
community in general. The idea of celebrating Teacher's Day took sky
independently in many countries during the 20th century; in most cases,
they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education
(for example, Argentina celebrates Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's death on
September 11 since 1915, while India celebrates Dr. Sarvepalli
Radhakrishnan's birthday on September 5 since 1962). These two factors
explain why almost all countries celebrate this day on different dates,
unlike many other International Days.
