No matter what age or for what reason, life can sometimes bring us face to face with feels of dreariness and loneliness, evoking moments of hopelessness, anxiety and fear. This might be the scenario for a small child in hospital about to undergo major surgery or a disabled teenager fighting to stay strong after a car crash and being told they may never to walk again. But when a smile or a bit of m
usic is shared, when colors emerge and feelings of happiness seep into the room, then you can actually feel something positive taking place... our clown doctors are on the move. They live right in the moment, caring passionately for all those who need love and a bit of uplifting. They improvise as they move from bedside to bedside, connecting with those who are ready to reach out. They spread the spirit of joy in the most remote places on earth and in the clinic down the road. Yes, the powers of humor and laughter can indeed enhance the healing process and help the human body to cope with stressful situations. RED NOSES International (RNI) is the umbrella organization of one of the largest clown doctor groups in the world. Operating in over 400 hospitals and social welfare institutions our local partner organizations are presently engaged in eleven countries: Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Palestine, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Jordan. We take great pride in our achievements of supporting the wellbeing of thousands of people within the global community.
