Clowns Without Borders began in Spain in 1993 when refugee children, from the Yugoslav Wars of 1991-1995 from the Istrian Peninsula, wrote to Catalan children: “You know what we miss most? We miss laughter, to have fun, to enjoy ourselves.” So the Spanish children asked Tortell Paltrona to travel there with a troupe and they went [in 1993] by car. The children in Barcelona raised funds to pay for the project.
