Before you decide to help me, I would like you to meet me and my passions - circus art and travels that changed my life and made my and others' dreams come true.       I am Hania and I have been growing in experience for 23 years. My life goal is to help those in need, to share knowledge and discover new ways of self-development that lead to variety of experiences and enjoyment in everyday life.       One of these paths is the circus, thanks to which, every day, I learn to break my barriers, find motivation to act, share a smile and joy, and above all develop awareness of my own body and mind.       I have been traveling around the world for 3 years, discovering its innermost nooks, collecting information about cultures and customs and meeting various people. These trips have taught me how to live in uncomfortable conditions, to be independent and to deal with extreme situations. However, the main lesson that repeats with each subsequent trip is FEELING others. I go with a motto : Circus Ensuring a Smile of Warmth and Excitement. What does this mean to me? Through teaching children and adults circus arts can achieve a lot: to entertain, improve the day, increase self-esteem, discover unknown talent, awaken passion, raise adrenaline levels and release a burst of serotinine. The circus may still be associated with the use of animals and an annoying clowning, but this is already a very outdated picture. Currently, circus arts are also used in the therapy of physical and mental disabilities as well as in social welfare issues.

Main goal of the project in Nairobi

Together with the NGO Performers Without Borders, I will travel to Nairobi to teach in Sarakasi circus school, for six weeks. I go there for children who often have to deal with hard everyday life. It is for them that I want to teach juggling, acrobatics, hula hoop and other circus plays every day with a smile.

It is through joyful fun that you can break away from the hardships of every day.

Together with artists from around the world, we will develop a desire among children to self-improvement, overcoming their barriers, faith in achieving the unimaginable and nurturing their unique personality. Everyone can be the craziest version of themselves in the circus!

Why is it important to spread circus all over the world?

We eliminate age, social and racial barriers by smiling and having fun together. One of the many beautiful goals of this project is to instill in children a sense of equality and a desire to pursue their goals. We want to instill in them the ability to cooperate and healthy competition, because it enables them to enter adulthood with a state of consciousness conducive to creating a better, warmer, more open reality to other people. Just see how much love you can generate by throwing balls and putting on red noses :)

Struggles with everyday life

Kenya existed for almost 100 years as a British colony. Only since 1963 has it been able to stand as an independent state. It is impossible to calculate the damage suffered by the local population. Slowly but with determination, Kenyans create their own reality, trying to find stability after years of oppression.

Unfortunately, as in many places on earth, there is still the problem of malnutrition, lack of access to electricity and water. In order to support the family, children start physical labor at a very early age. Nairobi is one of the cities with the highest crime rate.

These problems cannot be solved with the help of the circus, but thanks to it we can make children's days more pleasant, cheer up and diversify. They deserve to be entitled to carefree and fun. It is thanks to playfulness that we bring them that they can get away from the hardships of every day.

How will I spend your donation?

I will spend the funds on a flight to Nairobi and back to Europe, vaccinations as well as on-site accommodation and meals, because these are issues that must be provided indisputably.I always travel as cheaply as possible to spend the rest of my money on significant items. In this case, they will be materials that will be used to make circus equipment, which can be left to children after the project is over, so that they can get excited and practice new skills until we return to Sarakasi school again next year.
