Jean and staff in Nepal
Dear all,
we trust this finds you well? We want to share an update with you, that we could have not achieved without you. With your contribution and help we financed 96 clown visits in 2 hospitals during the year 2018.
Mr. Liu, our hero and “ chief clown” continues to be amazing, you would love him! Ms. Rebecca Archer, a Beijing-based mother and writer, wrote in Beijing Kids Magazine:
"For some children it is their first time seeing a clown or professional entertainer. the children sit entranced, spell-bound by Mr. Liu. He is Magic Hospital's longest serving clown, with an infectious giggle and aweseome magic tricks!"
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if one day every child’s first words about a hospital stay were: “I saw a clown!”
In our past reports we told you that we are working on the expansion of our program, it is still in the progress. And we keep you updated about those exciting times ahead.
Visiting hospitalised children in neigbouring Nepal
One of our hospital clowns "Jean" travelled to Nepal. He brought with him joy, toys and clothes, the fruits of the "Show Kindness" project back in Beijing. He encouraged children to bring gifts they wanted to share with those less fortunate. And keenly they brought...
Jean visited the International Children Hospital of Kathmandu, and the “Bandipur Hospital”. Jean, the staff, children and their parents he shared magic moments. Many sad faces lit up with smiles. The best encouragement to continue for the artist’s warming heart..
He often accompanies also our volunteers from the Playtime Group. Each Saturday a group of volunteers goes to the Huaxin Hospital to play with children hospitalised for heart surgery.
New Year of the Pig
On February 1st we visited the Migrant Children’s House in Gucheng, Shunyi, bringing gifts for the upcoming Chinese New Year.
Our volunteer Shewmay writes: " Then look at this fabulous art craft which we made together: Chinese lanterns and other colourful decorations. We decorated the school with them, fire crackers and auspicious Chinese symbols. A beautiful sight indeed! The real celebration at the end was the best, with a feast of snacks and gifts for all the children. The little ones were filled with smiles and giggles, as they all headed home with faces glowing of happiness and warm wishes for the New Year. A wonderful day I will always remember!"
Other initiatives
- we started an MH Music Band! Their grand premiere will be on the 30th of March during an event for Autism day.
- "Magic beans" project. We did this many years back with a parent group in Guangzhou, whose children had cancer. It was a big success.
We hope that you enjoy what you receive, as this is also the fruit of your passion and support. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch with me!
Warmest regards
Claudia
