Ibtissama presented in an Avant-première "The Other Woman", Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton's new comedy on Wednesday, April 23, 2014. More than 200 friends of Ibtissama were among the first in the country to watch the exclusive premiere. Ibtissama's guests enjoyed a gathering at the cinema's lobby before watching the film, and also posed for pictures with the senior Clown Doctor "Dr. Nejmeh" who delivered a touching speech about Ibtissama's work with children.
Ibtissama's mission is to bring a much‑needed smile to the faces of hospitalized children in Lebanon. Until today, Ibtissama's Clowns Doctors were able to reach and make 19,152 bedside visits to hospitalized children, most of whom suffer from cancer and other chronic illnesses. The four hospitals that Ibtissama project currently covers are Rafic Hariri University Hospital, the American University of Beirut Medical Center including St. Jude affiliated Children Cancer Center of Lebanon (CCCL), Hotel-Dieu de France and Makassed General Hospital. Ibtissama hopes to widen the reach to other hospitals with the increased support of the Lebanese society.
