The laudatory speech reflects her life-long commitment to healthcare clowning:
…“Elisabeth Makepeace-Vondrak brings moments of joy to people who are ill and in need of care. As the co-founder and longstanding chairwoman of KlinikClowns Bayern e.V., she ensures that clowns visit hospitals, care facilities, and hospices throughout Bavaria. With over 70 clinic clowns visiting today over 100 facilities, she brings comfort and joy to countless individuals each year. ….Chairing the German nationwide umbrella organisation of healthcare clowns, she is always committed to ensuring the quality, networking and visibility of this special work. Through her vision and determination, she has established a distinctive project that demonstrates the transformative power of humour in challenging life circumstances.”…
We are thrilled to congratulate Elisabeth from the heart on receiving this incredible award!
You deserve it! We will raise our glasses during our upcoming Annual Meeting in Paris!
