Hello everyone,
World Laughter Day, observed on the first Sunday in May, is a global celebration of laughter’s power to connect, heal, and uplift. The day was established in India in 1998 by Dr. Madan Kataria, founder of the Laughter Yoga movement, as a way to promote peace and well-being through shared laughter.

Whether it's through humor, social connection, or a spontaneous laugh during the day, the benefits are real and wide-reaching.
