Clowning around brings joy to young cancer patients in Brazil

Positivity and love can change for the world for the better. That’s the belief of 26-year-old Brazilian Priscilla Freire. After graduating in industrial design in Sao Paulo, Priscilla found her true love in social projects. She gave up a full-time design job, and began to work for various NGOs. And, once a month, she volunteers to put on a smile and a red nose to try to bring some joy into the lives of cancer patients.
