During these last 4 years, a group of people with artistic and psychosanitary training are dedicated to trying to alleviate as much as possible the sufferings of children who are hospitalized in various centers of Granada (Spain) through something as healthy as Laughter and large doses of imagination.
There have already been 9,000 children who have received attention from the doctors smile, they usually visit an average of 30 children per week and adapt to the particular illness of each child, they have the appropriate preparation to treat each case in a special way.
The Smile Doctors of Theodora Foundation have the mission of making sick children stay in the most bearable hospital, they are in 10 countries and they hope to meet in many more. They dedicate great effort to crossing geographical, religious or ethnic barriers with a clear objective, to make children smile. Each visit is individual, the doctor plays, improvises, everything is done so that the child is the center of the action. The idea is to make the little one escape for a while from the hostile sanitary environment that surrounds him by returning to his infantile world. But visitors are also integrated into the game, be they parents, grandparents, friends, etc., everyone must participate before the doctor smile.
We must thank the work of these people and the good intentions they demonstrate. Currently this work is distributed in 94 hospitals in 10 countries, 10 of the centers are Spanish. We hope that over time they can grow much more and thus serve the children of all hospitals.
