Laughter Clubs Transcript

Narrator: These people are having a great time. They’re at a meeting of the
Laughter Club1.

The Laughter Club began about ten years ago in Mumbai, India. A
local 2 doctor told his patients that laughing could make them feel better.
He taught them to do exercises that make them laugh.

Now there are about 500 laughter clubs in India, and they are opening
new clubs in cities around the world.

Laughter is a powerful medicine!
