About the Project:
In July we are planning the “Laugher is the Best Medicine Tour” which will bring free circus and clowning performances as well as workshops to youth and families in and around Mexico. We would like to serve youth and families, especially migrant families in shelters, orphanages, hospitals, schools and other centers. The tour will consist of 8 persons and will be 2-3 weeks in July in San Diego, Tijuana, Ensenada, and other cities. Accommodations, local travel, and food will be covered. Artists will be responsible for transportation to and from San Diego CA.
