This service is provided in collaboration with the Theodora Foundation from Switzerland.The purpose of the Theodora programme is to ease the suffering of hospitalized children through laugher. Every week Theodora organizes the hospital visits of a group of professional artists who have been specially trained to work with children in hospitals.These clown doctors have a very special relationship with the children, they communicate with them on their own level. For the young patients, the clown doctors weekly visits offer a welcome respite from the medical routine and is a magical moment that they look forward to. For that short period they are able to leave behind the sometimes bewildering world of the hospital for a world of fun and laughter. They visit the Prince of Wales Hospital, Tuen Mun Hospital, the Queen Mary Hospital, the Duchess of Kent at Sandy Bay Hospital, the Kwong Wah hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital weekly. |
