Bringing smiles and hope: ProjectBinder sponsors Danske Hospitalsklovne.
The healing power of laughter.
In the often sad and challenging hospital environment, where illness and vulnerability prevail, the light comes from Danske Hospitalsklovne. These remarkable individuals with red noses, colourful costumes, and a heart full of compassion remind young patients and their families that a smile can be the best medicine, even in adversity.
At ProjectBinder, we are proud and happy to support the Danish hospital clown organization dedicated to spreading joy, laughter, and positivity to sick and vulnerable children.
Their presence is about bringing laughter and fostering a sense of normalcy and joy in an overwhelming situation. In close collaboration with the staff, they offer their help in various roles where it fits into the treatment. Nowadays, they manage to visit approximately half of the approx—75,000 children who are hospitalized in Denmark each year.
Helping them to spread smiles.
Currently, they are 61 hospital clowns and 12 clown apprentices in training. They are not volunteers but professionally trained.
These artists undergo rigorous training that goes beyond wearing colourful costumes and painting with smiles. They learn the delicate balance of humour, sensitivity, and empathy to interact with children grappling with fear, pain, and uncertainty.
We at ProjectBinder are pleased to strengthen our link with our community and, in this way, help the most vulnerable through the commendable work of this organization.
As their activity depends on donations from private individuals, foundations and companies, we encourage you to support and back Danske Hospitalsklovne so that even more children can benefit from hospital clowns during complex illnesses.
