Lladró created Children of the world as part of its ongoing collaboration with Operation Smile, a charity organization whose mission is to correct facial deformities in underprivileged children all over the world. With this new initiative, besides paying tribute to the work of Operation Smile, Lladró sets aside part of the price of each figurine sold for the organization.

Since 2006 Lladró has been working with Operation Smile on different initiatives that have led to the donation of over $350,000. This collaboration, which started with Lladró USA, was extended in 2007 to the rest of the world. Setting aside a percentage of the sales of certain pieces and collections, as well as part of the sales registered during signing tours by the Lladró family, we have managed to put a smile back of the face of thousands of children.

Children of the world is another step in the collaboration between the two, a joint project materialized in a piece featuring children from the five continents. The synthesized forms and the simple decoration incarnate the spirit that motivates the work of Operation Smile. The white matte of the children contrasts with the glazed base decorated with bluish enamels, thus proportioning further decorative strength to the piece.

- A part of sales price of this piece will be donated to Operation Smile.-
