More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Although void of drug-trafficking, the community is affected by truancy and absent parents. The Happy Ending project uses social activities to aid 150 children and youth ages 2-21 daily in becoming responsible citizens. The project also targets parents helping them become more conscientious of their parenting methods. These transformations benefit the community by strengthening families and promoting cultural education. More circus equipment is needed to better serve the community.

Activities

The project uses elements of social circus such as acrobatics and clowning to engage participants in activities that remove them from a cycle of truancy. Participants also perform and attend cultural events both inside and outside of their community.
