You've probably heard of Medicin sans Frontiers/Doctors without Borders. But did you know that there are also Pharmacists without Borders, Lawyers without Borders, Designers without Borders (as in graphic designers), Reporters without Borders, Translators without Borders and... Clowns without Borders?Much to the delight of pediatric and adult patients (and staff) the French-Canadian branch of CWB performed a mid-day show today in the clinic's courtyard. Here are a few photos and video shorts.
I must say that this group of globe-trotting clowns may contribute more during their brief tours of poor and war-torn countries than some non-governmental organizations do in years. This is one "short-term mission" I feel like I can support. Its sole purpose is to make people smile - which, based on what we saw today, they likely accomplish 99.9% of the time. Not too many of us professional do-gooders can claim that success rate.
