Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The goal of this project is to leverage the technical abilities, number of youth and youth monitors attended.
Project Message
We saw the kids on the streets without hope and reacting with violence to life. Happiness, trust, magic and circus arts are turning these youth into multiplier agents of social opportunities and hope.
