Have you always wanted to run away with the circus?
Well, now is your chance!
Spark Volunteer circus needs you!
SPARK! is a group of 20 spectacular international volunteer circus performers who have come together for the last five years to bring joy and play to groups of disadvantaged children in refugee camps, migrant schools, hospitals and orphanages along the Thai Burmese border. When we visit schools, part of our group is composed of Thai and ethnic Burmese hill tribe teachers, who share their experiences with their own communities to help create positive change. We reach over 4,000 children each year as we go into the local communities, refugee camps and hidden migrant schools to perform a circus-style fire show, teach playshops and offer donations of toys, art supplies, and tools.
In addition to all the FUN that the children have learning circus skills, this project is designed to develop their creativity, physical fitness, communication skills, teamwork, confidence and cultural awareness. Play is a fundamental part of childrenʼs development and we bring a big spark of joy, love, amusement and entertainment into these children's lives ,and the lives of those who work in the camps and orphanages. Every year, we travel to them to lighten their days and to bring some magic.
SPARK! is completely volunteer based, and relies entirely on your generous donations and community support . Your contribution will help provide the spark of life for these children in Thailand! You can chose to help by a donation of money that will go towards the kits of creative supplies to be donated at each school and orphanage, or perhaps you may chose to specifically sponsor a performer for their travel/ accomodation during the project. Every dollar helps! We also welcome donations of goods for the children; clothes, blankets, socks shoes, book, art supplies of all types, if they can be shipped to our address in Thailand. Also of great use are donations of costumes and circus props for use in our performances. These are passed on to the children after the seasons tour. They love the red clown noses!
As a donor company, your generousity will be acknowledged in all our media, and both individual donors and companies will receive photos and email updates from our performers as the project is happening. So that you will know exactly how your donation helped, we will offer a summary update including photos, video and personal comments at the conclusion of the this yearʼs project. If one of our volunteers lives in your city, we would be happy to have them do a personal presentation for your company at the conclusion of the project.
Your donation will help us light the SPARK!
