Spark Circus ... the low down!

SPARK! is a group of spectacular international volunteer circus performers who come together to bring joy to groups of disadvantaged children in refugee camps, migrant schools, hospitals and orphanages along the Thai Burmese border.

We reach over 4,000 children each year with our circus-style fire show, playshops and donations of toys, art supplies, and creative tools. Our goal is to lighten their days with magic, wonder, laughter and smiles. SPARK! is completely volunteer based, and relies entirely on your generous donations and community support .

This Year Fleassy and Googley Swan will be joining the Spark Circus family and they are looking for YOUR help to make it happen....

Here are a few nice shots from last years Spark Circus Tour. All photos taken by Lucy Lynn.

Our Story...

In January and February 2012 Googley Swan and myself (Fleassy) will be joining a group of young bright flames on a mission to spread joy, laughter, playfulness and colour to people who need that little reminder of how beautiful the world can be. We will join the rest of the SPARK Circus family; coming together from all across the globe and traveling up to the border of Thailand and Myanmar (Burma). There are over 250,000 people who have fled opression, war and poverty in Burma to the refugee camps, however once there they are prevented from leaving and entering Thailand. Here armed with nothing but our red noses, hula hoops, juggling clubs, instruments and colourful ribbons we will spreads the seeds of laughter into the hearts of thousands of children living in the refugee camps.

Googley Swan and I left the UK just over a year ago on and adventure to see if We could reach New Zealand without an aeroplane, We crossed Europe, Siberia, Japan, China, and South East Asia with a minimal budget and a desire to embrace every opportunity we could. Boats, trains, busses, hitch hiking rides, motorbikes and many many helpful hearts took us across the world, into their homes and up to their dinner tables, rekindling our faith in human kind. We documented out travels in a series of videos staring Googley Swan herself and all her friends she has made along the way.

Now we begin the adventure of fundraising money for this beautiful stage of our adventure. The fundraising money will go directly into the project and pay for Childrens Toys, Circus Equipment and food for the teachers and kids.
