CWB USA and PSF Spain are working together again with Plan International. Kristi Hughes, Michael Oneill and Erin Crites will join Spanish clown, Pedro Izquierda to perform and provide workshops for children in Jacmel and Croix des Bouquets, Haiti.

We are excited to announce we have switched to Network For Good! Now you can support us with a recurring donation, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually… your choice! Help us ensure a successful future by supporting our work for the long term. We are funded almost entirely by individual donations. Participating artists all volunteer their time.
They do the majority of the fundraising for project expenses.
You can be a meaningful part of our work by supporting us financially.

Fifteen wonderful volunteer artists will be stiltwalking, juggling and clowning around Central Park on Sunday October 2, 2010. Come join us to celebrate the Ultimate Block Party!

Since Sept 4th Clowns Without Borders USA has been in the field working with Terre des Hommes, a child protection organization based in Port au Prince, Haiti and with field posts in Grand Goave (the epicenter of the January earthquake) and Les Cayes. We’ve been invited to do “a training of the teachers” work in clown, acrobatics, juggling and psychosocial support as it relates to play. For two weeks we’ve taught workshops in the mornings to child educators and then each afternoon we’ve worked with a group of 20 children, developing circus routines and playing games. The children we’ve been teaching have been featured guests in each of our performances.

Please view this short documentary to learn more about Plan International’s work and our collaborations with the organization in Haiti.

The BBC highlights several articles featuring Haiti and the aftermath of the January 12 earthquakes now 6 months ago.

Bryan McKenzie interviewed Tim Cunningham early this summer about his work as a nurse at UVA and his dedication to CWB. The article was published in the Charlottesville Daily Progress July 11, 2010.

Our goal is to $20,000 by August 1st so we can keep our administrative support, and keep CWB running, growing, and sharing laughter with those who need it in crisis areas worldwide. Please support CWB USA in making this campaign a successful endeavor.
