Because Some Children do not laugh anymore

They travel across the world to make the children laugh. Over a decade of its existence, performers of Clowns sans Frontières (CSF) has “shared millions of laughter" with the children of as many as 16 countries. Last week a group of performers of CSF came to Bangladesh and staged over 15 shows mainly for children who are deprived of their childhood by sheer poverty and social stigma. Star Weekend Magazine finds out how these performers use the language of laughter as a respite for children in a world full of war and hunger.
