The Flying Seagull Project was started by Ash, an actor and children's entertainer, and they are currently touring many of the orphanages and gypsy villages throughout Romania. This group fundraised in order to come here to put smiles on the faces of children whose lives are a constant struggle. We love their motto: "We're after your laughter!" This group travels and lives in the van pictured below as they go throughout the Romanian countryside making children happy.
This group visited FCE, our foundation, for three days. They put on three programs for the Casa Alba and Silvia kids, which they just loved. The first day they played team building games and made different crafts. The four of them did great considering they know very little Romanian. The second day was all about music. They brought different percussion instruments and had the children explore them. And by exploring we mean banging them until they were exhausted! Finally on the third day they put on a sort of circus act. They performed magic tricks as well as juggled and twirled dishes. The best part was that they let the kids attempt to juggle and twirl dishes. It was so much fun! It was an amazing experience for the children at Casa Alba who don't usually have the chance to explore the arts. All the kids LOVED it.
The Flying Seagull Project also visited Cadea and they rocked! It was amazing! They put on the same type of circus act and the people at Cadea loved it. The smiles and laughter lasted all afternoon. It was amazing to see how these young adult enjoyed themselves. Pure joy was on everyone's faces. They were especially amazed with the magic acts. One of them said, "I've seen magic on TV, but I didn't think people could actually do it. Ash did it right in front of me. It is real!" It was amazing! The Flying Seagull Project was such a blessing to us! We wish them the best as they continue on making many more Romanian children smile.
