Three Wise Men

For a Red Noses cause

We would like to introduce to you our favorite charity organization. Don’t be alarmed, this post will not ask from you anything in return.

Now you have all been to the doctor. Right? Was it a pleasant visit? Did you have fun? Would you like to do it again? Now if you have children and god forbid that something like that would have to happen to your children, but did you ever have a child in the hospital? Strapped to the bed? Waiting for them to get better? Have his sick eyes looking at you and silently asking you to make the stay in the hospital more fun?

We hope that you answered No to the above questions, but if you didn’t and if you are lucky enough to live in Europe, we can offer you a fun loving, joy inspiring unconventional doctors. Those doctors help sick children with laughter, joy and vitality. Wait, don’t stop reading, this is not a trick.

The organization that we are trying to introduce to you is called Red Noses Clowndoctors International. They have been visiting sick children in the hospitals since 1994. By their statistic in 2008 there were 169 Clowndoctors which fill the day with laughter, joy and vitality to around 5000 patients. Organization operates in Europe with partner organizations in Austria, Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Slovakia.

The whole thing is quite simple, a group of clowns dressed as doctors with funny names are visiting children in hospitals. The idea is simple and as it was already said, it brings those kids, that have to spend their long days in hospitals, a little fun and excitement in their lives. Although not being real doctors Red Noses can relate with Patch Adams and his work in medicine and helping people.
