"The transformative power of circus connects education, physical art and
social development. Social Circus is more than teaching circus skills.
It is a tool for transformation, discipline, creativity and artistic
expression."
The above statement comes from the Mobile Mini-Circus for Children (MMCC) website. MMCC is Social Circus program in Afghanistan that uses circus arts a tool for teaching social skills, overcoming trauma
and developing essential capacities and the ability to take
responsibility.
Not only do they offer workshops for children, but they also perform educational shows about essential themes such as hygiene, Peace, or traffic safety.
Partnering with MACCA/UNOPS, for example, MMCC has produced performances
geared toward teaching and protecting children from the dangers of
landmines and unexploded ordnance, in ways they can easily and much
better understand.
MMCC is currently raising funds for their next year of operations. They hope to cover the costs of costumes for rehearsal and performance, as well as covering equipment costs.
Right now, they're at $765 of their $6000 goal. If you're able to help and wish to contribute, you can make a donation here.
