Day 126 - Clowns Without Borders


If there ever was a need for laughter and fun, it would be where children are suffering through trauma in areas of crises.  In war zones, in refugee camps, after natural disasters - that is when and where Clowns Without Borders do their best gigs, performing and entertaining around the world.  "No child without a smile" is the mantra that works wonders in lighting up the eyes of kids who would otherwise be without hope and levity.  Clowns Without Borders was founded in 1993 and now has roots in 9 countries around the world.  Besides the United States, it's in Spain, France, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, South Africa, and Canada.  Recent performances have been in Colombia, Cambodia, Haiti, Egypt and Burma/Myanmar. The clowns and their props also put on shows as fundraisers all over the United States.
