 g teens and adults to learn about the mitzvah of Kavod HaBriyot (human dig
 nity) and Bikkur Cholim (visiting the sick) while at the same time teachin
 g Mitzvah Clowning skills to enhance their knowledge and friendly visits.
   Participants will learn what is Mitzvah Clowning\, what is it not\, why
  it is important\, how to do it and interact with senior citizens\, childr
 en with special needs and others in need of healing and a friendly visit.
   The program will include a training session and each participant will r

  those in need of them while profoundly impacting them and many others.\n\
 nAt the training participants will learn how to apply clown make-up\, crea
 te balloon animals and undergo role play exercises to better prepare them 
 for their friendly visit.  After the initial session\, these newest Mitzv
 ah Clowns will put into action what they learn by visiting seniors locally
 .   Following the initial training and friendly visit\, the Mitzvah Clow
 ns will go on site visits to local senior centers and other facilities.\n\
