“Sonreir [Smile]” Joel Gomez, Vancouver

A smile is the universal, non-verbal communication of happiness. A smile not only has physiological benefits to the person smiling, but is also instantly contagious to those who see it. It costs nothing to give, but is the most sincere gift that one might be able to give to another. A smile brings rest to the weary, and is the best antidote for discouragement. It brings sunshine to the sad and hope to the hopeless.
