Laughter Heroes (formerly Jabulani Kingdom) is a unique initiative that brings therapeutic entertainment to vulnerable children across public hospitals in South Africa.
We would like to thank Old Mutual Insure for adding hope and laughter in our dreamers’ lives. The benefits of therapeutic entertainment go beyond supporting children with life-threatening illnesses. We have also found that the benefits extend to their caregivers and families, as well as the doctors, nurses and other healthcare practitioners in the wards.
Our Laughter Heroes visited Tygerberg Hospital and Redcross Children's Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, to spend time with the brave children who are battling cancer. It was an incredibly humbling and heartwarming experience for the team to have had the opportunity to make a difference in the children’s lives.
The team was inspired by the children’s resilience, how they displayed bravery and strength in the face of their adversity. They spent time handing out marshmallow easter eggs and sharing stories, creating happy memories that will last a lifetime.
