Today we caught up with the inspiring Harish Bhuvan. Harish works with 'Compassionate Clowns', an extremely interesting group that does some fabulous work around town.Take a few minutes and find out more about them!
1. To kick things off,I think we'd all like to know what compassionate clowns is all about?
We are a bunch of people who love clowning around in hospital to spread joy in the lives of others. Clowning could involve just making merry, being silly, singing goofy songs, dancing around, shaping animals with balloons and so on. It also brings about connections and a sense of kinship and this is what keeps us going. We have grown so much after we began compassionate clowning .
2. What inspired you guys to get into this?
The inspiration was when the kids started smiling to all the goofy actions we were doing, and them getting up from their bed and walking around with us, wherever we went, made us realize that they were healing themselves in the process.
3.What are some of the challenges you face in your line of work?
Some of the challenges that we face in this line of work is that, getting volunteers is little difficult, but once we get it, it is so much fun, and one most difficult challenge in our work is getting the funds.
