Laughter is the best medicine. Room In The Inn volunteer Robert Kent, taking this seriously, applies humor generously when teaching classes in our Hope University.
His jokes have been described by some as "cheesy," or "dad jokes," but Robert perseveres. He believes in offering healing through humor.
"I think the most powerful and eye-opening thing since I've started coming down to Room In The Inn was how our guests here were hungry for respect and just normal interaction - how they crave being treated like everybody else."
"I want to give them a pleasant, fun experience that might provide kind of a break in their day and give them a certain degree of normalcy."
Robert's gift of humor is a lesson in treating others how we want to be treated - finding joy in laughing (and maybe cringing) together in community.
