Orphans enjoy the Great Moscow Circus
MAGALIESSIG – Girls enjoy a circus experience of a different kind.
Twenty-five orphaned girls were given an experience of a lifetime when they attended the Great Moscow Circus at Montecasino.
The girls are primarily victims of child trafficking who now live in children’s homes supported by Orphanage Africa.

The orphanage supports homes across the continent by not only renovating homes in poor condition but delivering experiences that help to rebuild the children’s confidence and bring them happiness.
Matthew Mensah, spokesperson and founder of Health Public Relations which specialises in humanitarian affairs, said, “The sex trade in Africa is at crisis levels and the key issues behind child trafficking are poverty and the lack of education and awareness. Children are lured with promises of work and a better life and end up in the sex trade.”
He added that support for the orphanages was always welcome in the form of donations of food, clothing, toiletries or funds.
