What is Humanitarian Clowning?

Humanitarian Clowning is simply connecting with people through fun, friendship and compassion.

Why Help Hyper?

For the past few years Hyper the Clown has fundraised and with the help and support of family, friends and the Darwin community. In 2013 she was able to join Humanitarian Clowns Inc. in the southern state of India, Tamil Nadu for three weeks. Where the clowns visited orphanages, rehab units, special needs schools, psych wards, paediatric wards, leprosy colonies and gypsy communities.

In March 2014, Hyper the Clown joined the famous Patch Adams from the Gesundheit Institute and 27 Volunteers from all over the world in Morocco. They spread laughter, happiness and smiles in hospitals and orphanages around the country. Hyper didn’t have enough time to fundraise this trip, and it came out of her own pocket, but it was well worth the experience!

Hyper the Clown had another amazing opportunity to join Patch Adam’s again in Costa Rica in September 2014, where she  contributed in volunteer work and care clowning workshops in San Jose with Patch Adams. In addition to clowning in clinical settings (and prisons!!), there was daily practical workshops in clown technique, song, poetry, improvisation, along with composing in small groups. Hyper has  brought back a lot of what she has learned from this trip into the community.

With your help Hyper hope’s to go back to India this November and spread the clowniness to all the people who need it. The clowns will be visiting orphanages, rehab units, special needs schools, psych wards, paediatric wards, leprosy colonies, gypsy communities and clowning in the streets.
