| The primary purpose
of this program ”Wear
a Smile” is to make personal
contact with those in need, bringing them joy,
laughter, loving care, and last but not least---smiles!
We like to go anywhere we can be of assistance;
to hospitals, old folk’s homes, centers
for children at social risk, and economically
deprived areas. In short, anywhere you may find
people that need to know that they are important
as individuals, and that there lives matter.
Our program brings hope to those who are at risk
of losing all hope. We want to reach out and encourage
those in less fortunate conditions. Our objective
is to help people deal with life’s problems
in a positive way. We believe that the therapy
of humor, joy and laughter will contribute to
the healing process of our bodies, as well as
our inner beings.
Inspired by the initiative and teachings of
Patch Adams and others in the field of healthcare
we have adopted the personalities of Community
Clowns. In the area of healthcare, Hospital Clowning
has become more and more recognized not only as
a unique way to provide momentary distraction
and relief, but also as an essential part of the
patient’s healing process. A positive attitude
and a relaxed mind leaves the body free to concentrate
on its healing process and thereby often speeds
the recovery time. A merry heart does good like
a medicine.
