The mission of Ibtissama is to bring smiles, fun and laughter to hospitalized children, especially those with chronic illnesses, through visits held by specialized “Clown Doctors”.
Ibtissama clowns undergo specialized training, on a regular basis, to become “Clown Doctors”. Training is provided by Theodora Foundation certified experts, AUB School of Nursing and a psychological counseling center. Ibtissama “Clown Doctors” hold weekly visits to hospitals where they provide recreation activities to hospitalized children and their families.
