Clowns. They are sure to evoke some kind of emotion, right? Whether clowns make you recall the horror movie 'It' or something slightly more warm and fuzzy it is not often that we link clowns with healing and connecting people, communities and families. I sure didn't.
Until my friend traveled to Ecuador. To volunteer and attend an intensive clown workshop. A la Patch Adams. I assumed she was joking about becoming a professional clown and urged her to write a book instead (she could be a stand-up comedian, she is that witty).
Boy, was I ever wrong. And she is ever so brave. After looking up what exactly she was doing I was deeply touched and every time I think of her and her purple clown nose I cannot seem to get rid of that giant smile that spreads across my face.
There are a lot of Revolutionary Clowns out there working hard and volunteering with Patch Adams' Gesundheit! Global Outreach
I think they are da bomb.
