The Clowns are Coming!

Posted by Ember Mumaw, Intern

They not only came, but they brought horns and huge shoes, beautiful smiles, and a lot of crazy clown games! And the kids loved it! Here are a few shots of us celebrating Children’s Day (albeit a bit late) at Saramoldeava orphanage with the youngest children. The children and teachers are eager for us to come again with the clowns!


The cool thing about the clowns is that they work for a good friend of Interlink, Nadezhda (which means hope in Russian), who has a clown entertainment business. Several of her clowns come from PTL, the local school where orphanage graduates study and board. It so great to see the graduates working and able to make extra money while, in this occasion, they reach out to kids who are also from the orphanage.
