On March 20 every year, the world celebrates the United Nations International Day of Happiness. Initially conceptualised and founded by the UN Special Adviser Jayme Illien, the day was established to inspire, mobilise, and advance global happiness.
This year, the theme was “Share Happiness” and was focused on the importance of relationships, kindness and helping each other. For many Kenyans, the day must have passed unnoticed. But, a week earlier a survey had been released giving a list of the happiest nations of the world.
