Circus school opens in Sale

A circus school, the first of the kind in Morocco, was dedicated last week in Sale, Rabat's twin city.

The school-- set up at the initiative of the Moroccan association of aid to children in precarious situation-- will train needy children in the circus art and help them renew with normal life and develop values, such as tenacity, courage and solidarity.

The school, on the model the Brazilian Rio de Janeiro circus school, was financed by national and international NGOs and Moroccan donors. The school will be mainly attended by children in precarious situation and school dropouts.
