In a place where tiny hearts battle the biggest challenges, a wave of joy recently swept through the St. Jude India Childcare Centre, Noida. The cause? A heart-touching initiative by the Lot of Laughter (LOL) Yoga Foundation, led by Dr. Harish Rawat, International Laughter Wellness and Spiritual Guru.
This wasn’t just a visit — it was a celebration of life, hope, and healing through the magic of Laughter Therapy
In a world where pain and uncertainty often cloud the lives of children battling cancer, something magical happened — a burst of joy, a ripple of laughter, and a moment of healing. This was not a scene from a movie, but a beautiful initiative by the Lot of Laughter (LOL) Yoga Foundation India, under the loving guidance of Dr. Harish Rawat, International Laughter Wellness and Spiritual Guru.
🌈 Laughter Seva Fest at St. Jude India Child Care Centers
Recently, the LOL Yoga Foundation brought its signature compassion and care to the children of St. Jude India Child Care Centers, a haven for young warriors bravely fighting cancer. The walls of the center, usually echoing with medical sounds and hushed voices, suddenly came alive with contagious laughter, claps, and cheer.
It was more than just a session. It was a celebration of life — a Laughter Seva Fest, a day dedicated to healing hearts and lifting spirits through the power of Laughter Therapy.
🙌 Volunteers Who Made Magic Happen
The session was led by none other than Dr. Harish Rawat, whose life mission is to spread joy and create a depression-free world. Accompanied by devoted volunteers Shweta Singh and Archana Ji, the room transformed into a sanctuary of hope and happiness.
The children, some with IV lines and others in wheelchairs, giggled freely as they mimicked playful laughter exercises, clapped in rhythm, and even made joyful animal sounds. Their eyes sparkled with a light rarely seen during treatment — a light of being seen, heard, and loved.
💖 More Than Laughter: A Healing Touch
This wasn’t just about laughter for laughter’s sake.
Science backs it — laughter therapy can significantly:
- Reduce stress and anxiety 😌
- Enhance mood and strengthen the immune system 💪
- Provide emotional comfort and improve quality of life 🤗
But for these little fighters, it was simply a chance to be kids again, if only for a while — forgetting pain, fear, and needles, and instead embracing belly laughs and silly faces.
One mother, with tears in her eyes, whispered, “I haven’t seen my daughter smile like this in months… Thank you, thank you for bringing this light to our darkness.”
🌟 A Movement of Love and Positivity
This session was not a one-time event. It’s part of a bigger movement — the Laughter Seva Fest, a heartfelt initiative by LOL Yoga Foundation to bring emotional healing and mental wellness to those who need it the most.
From cancer wards to slums, schools to prisons, Dr. Harish Rawat and his team have impacted over 85,000 lives across India and beyond. Their mission? To create a Depression-Free World and promote World Peace through Laughter.
🙏 A Thank You to the Kind Souls
The LOL Yoga Foundation extends its heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers, supporters, and the brave children and families who welcomed them with open arms. Your trust and love are the fuel behind this noble cause.
