Mondial Supports the Therapeutic Work of Hospital Clown Doctors
Clown Therapy: Healing Through Laughter
Clown therapy is the use of humor for therapeutic purposesto bring a smile to those facing illness, vulnerability, or hardship, often finding themselves isolated, marginalized, or deprived of their rights.
As taught by the founder of this practice, Patch Adams, a smile is the first medicine:
Humor is the antidote to all ills. I believe fun is as important as love. In the end, when you ask people what they enjoy most about life, it comes down to the fun they havewhether it’s racing cars, dancing, gardening, playing golf, or writing books. Life is such a miracle, and its so wonderful to be alive, I cant understand why anyone would waste a single minute! Laughter is the best medicine.
Mondial has chosen to support AVS Associazione Veronica Sacchi, a proud follower of Patch Adams, in its mission to bring care and joy to hospitalized children, elderly patients, and all those experiencing moments of suffering.
When you smile, everything works better!
