Smile therapy

For several years Medicos del Alma are visiting various hospitals and wards to offer prayer, encouragement and entertainment for patients, visitors and staff. Dressed as clowns with a puppet, balloons and appropriate tracts or magazines, our team goes from ward to ward, room to room, leaving behind smiling faces and thankful hearts. Sometimes friendships start and carry on when the patient is getting out of the hospital. We get to know their families and personal situations, and offer more help and counsel as the need arises.

One neat thing about it is that many young people here are attracted to this form of collaborating with us. It brings immediate fruit (smiles and thanks!) and leaves with this youth unforgettable experience of making someone's day!
