Making children laugh is a goal

MMCC - Mobile Mini Circus for Children - is a "Child Protection" project, which provides psycho-social support to children in difficult circumstances. The Circus is a cultural, educational, entertaining, and participative mobile project with no living animals.

Making children laugh is part of what MMCC considers as success. The main idea is to entertain and educate traumatized children through performances, workshops and training all around Afghanistan throughout the year.

The Circus uses a combination of juggling, story telling, puppet shows, gymnastics, theatre, clown comedies, music, painting, kite flying, sports, and soft fire works.

Afghans with different etnic backgrounds are chosen and trained to work with the Circus. Though it is not a religious project the Circus is showing all kinds of respect for local traditions and costumes. All performances starts with a prayer and the project cooperate with mullahs as well as any other relevant collaporators.

MMCC started in the summer of 2002 in the Afghan capital, Kabul. As soon as the project get a bus and become mobile, the Circus will start to visit all the main cities as well as distant villages and nomadic areas in the country.
