Cork sends in the clowns to Kosovo

Four Cork-based clowns are to fly out to Kosovo next week to put a smile on the faces of ethnic minorities who are still struggling to adjust to life after recent wars and bombings.

Clowns Without Borders Ireland is sending the quartet for a specifically devised show which will tour isolated communities of this still very economically deprived and segregated state.

The artists are donating their time for free to live up to the aims of ‘no child without a smile’ and ‘letting children be children’.
