Chummy Chum Brings Smiles to Kids Facing Painful Rabies Shots

Chummy Chum recently paid a special visit to a government-run healthcare facility to cheer up children bitten by rabid animals. Understandably anxious about the painful shots ahead, the kids had no idea a delightful surprise was waiting for them.

With help from volunteers, the Chummy Chum team welcomed the children to a colorful booth filled with sweet treats, toys, and special souvenirs. Instantly, worried faces lit up with excitement—they knew this moment was just for them.

The short program began with an introduction to the Chummy Chum Foundation and its mission to bring joy to children in need, no strings attached. As the kids munched on popcorn and cotton candy, they learned more about Chummy Chum—and then the star himself arrived.

Though space and health protocols didn’t allow for games or dance performances, Chummy Chum’s presence alone was enough to lift spirits. The children’s fear turned into laughter and smiles, a brief moment that made a big impact.

Doctors, nurses, and staff were grateful for the Foundation’s efforts to bring happiness to such a difficult day for the kids.
