One example of a true humanitarian is the real PATCH ADAMS who was played by ROBIN WILLIAMS in the movie about his life. Patch is engaged in many humanitarian efforts, including leading clown troupes of "nasal ambassadors" to places in need... whether it's Cuban pediatric wards, Kosovo war camps, or Russian orphanages! PATCH ADAMS performed live at the 2011 event at Emory University!
