Cologne clinic clowns: Laughter as therapy for sick children in Gummersbach

Project description

Performance by the Cologne Hospital Clowns at District hospital in Gummersbach

Since 2005, a duo from the Cologne Clinic Clowns has been visiting young patients at the children’s  hospital in Gummersbach once a week. The hospital clowns’ performances help to ease pain and anxiety and distract the children from everyday hospital  life. The performances are particularly beneficial for  traumatized children from war and crisis zones. The foundation supported with a one-off donation at a time when there was a reduction in small private donations.
