It's a trying time for families in countries like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. They are faced with the decision to either stay in their war-torn home countries, or to take the riskiest and most unsure journeys of their lives. Thousands of families are choosing the path of a refugee in the hope that it will make a better future for their families, but the road there is full of heartbreak, rejection, and despair.
When families arrive at refugee camps in places like Greece, they're bunched together with families from other countries, who might not speak the same language. While everyone is living in such close proximity to each other, there is still a heavy feeling of isolation hanging in the air. No one is sure about their family's future, or even where they will end up.
The most important thing for these refugees is to not lose hope.
That's where the Emergency Circus comes in with Clowns Without Borders. They're touring throughout Eastern Europe in the hopes that they can help keep hope alive in the hearts of these refugees. It's incredible what one smile can do to lift a person up from the dark.
Emergency Circus is looking to raise enough funding to take them all the way to Germany to bring joy to families on every step of the journey. Even if you don't like clowns, you'll see the world of good they can do when you see the smiles on the children's faces. It's truly incredible, and entirely necessary.
