Hey, the first steps for the Healing Smile project start, it was gave, with a great help of a friends and people that know and love Clown jeca' work I started see the first seeds of a dream come true.
I must to say that for the past 10 years I'm already in Ireland since I left Brazil, Rio de Janeiro; I always had at the back of my mind the dream and plan of bring Clown jeca to visit kids at paediatric units around the world.
But to a great start I knew that I need to get more experience on the language, better knowing the country traditions and knowledge about how to deal as a clown with kids at a paediatric unit.
After doing a lot of birthday parties around Ireland, events around Europe and have the pleasure for the past two years join on the Make believers charity team I felt fully prepared to starting crawl in my ideas.
My first goal it was to get an idea to raise money to purchase a PA sound system with a microphone headset and a gift for every kids that will visited.
After a lot of searching I found a great artist in the Mountrath area that make some crafts on crochet and suggest by me she came with loads of ideas of craft and a excellent idea of doing some puppet clown,I just love the final result; weeks after I was doing my first order of 50 puppet finger on 3euros each; money donated by All nation church in Dublin.
Now, I just putting in practising the idea of collecting good saleable things from friends and selling on-line to get all money need to buy the equipments and gifts that will be giving.
The task it is not easy but the the desire to do is the energy bust to me continually persevere in that deal called from day now: the Healing Smile project.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everybody that donated or making donatios for this project, God bless you all.
