The Mobile Mini Circus for Children (Main Bar)

MMCC stands for Mobile Mini Circus for Children, an International NGO operating in Afghanistan since 2002. Their main goal is to provide education to children in Kabul. At the Children Culture House, pupils can learn how to juggle, do acrobatics, sing and dance.

Children from Kabul (Sushi Bar)

These photos tell the story of Afghan children whose lives have been blighted by land mines, war and poverty. Although land mines are one of the biggest threats to children in Afghanistan, they also have to deal with lethal roads, poverty stricken urban communities, and appalling living conditions.
