In a country stricken by conflict, children of various ages are doing extraordinary things. They're learning circus skills and having fun. They juggle, unicycle, walk the tightrope and form human pyramids. This is the Mobile Mini Circus for Children (MMCC), an oasis of peace and hope in war-torn Afghanistan. Its founders, originally from Denmark, say they want to bring smiles and inspiration to Afghan children growing up beside poverty and ever-present death. With MMCC, boys and girls learn to communicate and trust each other through play and by performing and displaying their skills to the public.
