This is a double post with my other blog, zdeaconblue.wordress.com but I thought I would share it on both sites because its so damn cool.

Saw this group on a story on CNN a few weeks ago and really dug what they are doing and though I would share it with you today.  The Afghan Children’s Circus says the following about themselves:

MMCC, Mobile Mini Circus for Children, is an international non profit NGO that has been working in Afghanistan since June 2002. The main objective of MMCC is providing educational and informative entertainment for children. This aim is achieved by identifying, training, and applying the Afghan talents and potentials.

Since 2003 MMCC’s educational entertaining performances, workshops and teacher trainings have successfully reached more than half a million children and teachers in 16 provinces. New creative educational teaching methods are constantly being developed in MMCC’s Children Culture House that is also the base for 80-100 well trained MMCC-junior artists performing in Kabul and abroad.
