Girls, part of Afghan Mobile Mini Circus for Children (MMCC), participate in a juggling competition in Kabul, Afghanistan, on August 12, 2015. The MMCC, founded by David Mason from Denmark, teaches cooperation and creativity to children scarred by years of war in Afghanistan. Despite the dangers, the project has grown so popular that it now runs centres in ten provinces and has hundreds of regular students. The circus makes visits to internally displaced person camps, schools, orphanages and holds annual festivals. The children are taught the skills of juggling clubs, walking on stilts and acrobatics—students inside a classroom in Mazar e Sharif, Afghanistan, in 2005.
