FEEDBACK FROM BENEFICIARIES & PARTNER

“The learners benefited a lot from Clowns without borders South Africa. It was very fun and educational. Thank you so much, hoping our learners will be able to save the money and not to borrow money anymore.”

I think fish was the best, he was very funny and we had a nice day with them I wish they could come back again and visit us. We really had a great time with them.”
