May was such a busy month for the Clowns!

  • We implemented programmes in Cape Town, Ixopo, Newcastle, Richards Bay, and Eshowe (more than 19,000 children enjoyed shows and workshops). 
  • We initiated community focus groups in Cape Town as part of the Sinovuyo Caring Families Project to develop a programme to prevent child abuse.
  • We sent an artist to Sweden for an awareness tour and participated in the first ever CWB International federation meeting.
  • We even created a Twitter account. Please follow us @CWBSouthAfrica!
