ABOUT

CWBSA toured this performance in Northern KZN (Richards Bay and Newcastle). The preparations for the show were led by Laen Hershler, who helped as a director. He worked with artists for 2 weeks, helping to find new characters using his unique skills (masks), and he also helped in creating new routines, that helped to create a new show. Overall, children and their teachers enjoyed the shows and they were screaming “We want more”, that gave us energy to work more and rock them.

FEEDBACK FROM BENEFICIARIES & PARTNER

“This has been one of the great shows I have ever seen. To our learners living in deep rural, it was for the first time for them to see such a show live. Even those I have never seen them smiling, they were. This is a stress relaxing show. Characters in the show can perform their roles effectively. Thanks to Lotto and the other sponsors. To thank the crew: We were so impressed and educated. We have learnt a new way of presenting the content, Thank you.”  – D.S KHUMALO (H.O.D) from Mntokhona Primary

“ Clowns without Borders – your input was wonderful as it reached all the children from our crèche (Vukani), to our learners Grade R’s to Grade 7. We felt so relieved from our day to day responsibilities; we identified with your miming activities/actions as adults and deduced our own meaning relating to care and support. We understand plight as you try to reach our communities with so many broken links. Keep on pushing more, children are crying out there. Our school is a centre of care and support, our teachers and our principal Mr M.M Ngobese has such a vision……..Pass our gratitude to your sponsors, Lotto and Europcar, May God richly Bless you together with NOAH and all the sponsors and staff. Thank You.” – M.N NXUMALO (Deputy Principal) from Obanjeni Combined Primary School

I learnt some of the things that I might be able to do in the future. I enjoyed everything you were doing, and you showed energy and love of what you doing. I would like to urge you, to continue doing the good work, don’t stop please. Thank You.” –  NJABULO GUMEDE, learner from Obanjeni Combined Primary

 “The show made me happy, I haven’t been happy in a long time since I lost my brother, the show taught me that; if there is something you must talk about it. The part that I enjoyed is when there were 3 things like bats and they did not fall (juggling). And it was nice when they were dancing. I was very happy I enjoyed the show.” –  SANELE MKHIZE, learner from Thiyasizwe Primary School

Our day was made felt like ancient time after we laugh, we wish they continue to bring laughter in children’s life, we were honoured.” – STHEMBILE NTULI, learner from Ingabade High School
