...mi lado altruista despierta cada vez que veo algo como lo que hacen Patch y Los Bola Roja... @vacadescarriada me dijo que primero tenia que ser un Clown...

"...I want to end violence and injustice here in the world..."

Wonderfull inspiration of what clowns, artists, acrobats, jugglers, musicians, dancers can make of a difference when LOVE is the basic of all the interactions.

Patch Adams, Bola Roja, Evelyn Citroen, Sussane, Cees Kranen, Margarita Madrasso, Lidion ZIerikzee, Kim and Monica can make this world a better place

jamie2628-The institute of Patch Adams and all who help him are wonderful. To bring a smile to a suffering person's face, to care about people medically and without having to pay, is a far cry from what America in general is putting it's people through. Bravo to all these people, forever and ever! Oh how I wish this was the way of the world!

Poverty in Iquitos, Belen is so ugly to see, that I had when I was a little embarrassed to say I was born in Bethlehem, because all the people of that place that always comes to the outside where he is embarrassed to say they were born, and the truth Now I realize that rejection is to reject my home myself, seeing this video makes me very sad and I feel like these to help my people, the education here is so bad ..

[aniradea]

that the Peruvian government could give more money to places where there is not much pobresa and thus helping to places that already have almost everything, much less having people there with money, which is ugly to see a growing drug trade and how congress is fill their pockets and not worry about seeing what each nation really needs, is born a new reservation and what .. I just worry about caring for it, and the rest that God each country in

[aniradea]

each city should worry about things that really matter not so much nonsense, it's horrifying to see how it goes this rotting world of violence, envy, and drug traffickers vá ... it's good that there still good people who have money and think about the rest, I would become very famous in order to help all you can ....!!!!

Thanks for this video.
