Demi Lovato, Joe Manganiello and Mandy Patinkin from 'Smurfs: The Lost Village' team up with United Nations to celebrate International Day of Happiness

Demi Lovato, Joe Manganiello and Mandy Patinkin today threw their talent behind a United Nations effort to end extreme poverty, address inequality and protect the planet against climate change through the Sustainable Development Goals. 

The three voices in the upcoming film “Smurfs: The Lost Village,” joined officials from the United Nations, UNICEF and United Nations Foundation to celebrate the International Day of Happiness and show their support for the Sustainable Development Goals at UN Headquarters in New York as part of the #SmallSmurfsBigGoals campaign. 

The campaign is designed to encourage young people everywhere to learn about and support the 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by world leaders at the UN in 2015.  As part of the celebrations, Team Smurfs recognized three young advocates: Karan Jerath (20), Sarina Divan (17), and Noor Samee (17), for their actions in furthering issues addressed by the Goals. 

Jerath invented a containment device that could prevent offshore oil spills and ensure the protection of marine life, and has since become a UN Young Leader for the SDGs. Divan expanded a UN Foundation girl empowerment initiative at her high school and beyond, and Samee is a UNICEF blogger and advocate challenging social justice issues and raising awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals. 

The #SmallSmurfsBigGoals campaign culminates on the International Day of Happiness, which recognizes that Gross Domestic Product alone cannot measure the wealth and well-being of a country’s population and a more inclusive, equitable, balanced and sustainable approach to growth and development is key to being happy. This idea is closely linked to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which have among its aims decent work for all, access to nutritious food, quality education and health services, and freedom from discrimination, giving everyone a chance to enjoy peace, prosperity and happiness. 

“This inspirational campaign highlights the fact that each and every one of us, no matter how young or old, small or big, can make our world a happier place,” said Cristina Gallach, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Communications and the Department of Public Information.“We are grateful to Sony Pictures Animation and Team Smurfs for their spirit of collaboration.” 

The movie’s U.S. stars Demi Lovato, Joe Manganiello, Mandy Patinkin and director Kelly Asbury, on behalf of Team Smurfs presented the three young students with a symbolickey to the Smurfs Villagein recognition of their work in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals as an example for others to follow. 

“Today we have seen how the Small Smurfs Big Goals campaign is giving children and young people a platform to speak out about issues they are passionate about. As we celebrate International Day of Happiness, we hope many more young people are empowered to take action on the Sustainable Development Goals and help achieve a world free from poverty, inequality and injustice.” said Caryl M. Stern, UNICEF US Fund President & CEO.

The actors capped the presentation by premiering a new Public Service Announcement video starring cast members of the film Demi Lovato, Joe Manganiello, Michelle Rodriguez, and Mandy Patinkininspiring viewers to join the campaign and champion the Sustainable Development Goals.
