About Humanitarian Magic
Every year I volunteer performances and workshops to organizations that provide critical care and support to underprivileged children. From pediatric ICUs in New York City to refugee camps abroad, I do whatever I can to evoke smiles and lift spirits. Drawing from thousands of hours performing and teaching in schools, I use magic and juggling performances to spark children’s curiosity and excitement, then facilitate skill-building workshops that expand critical thinking, concentration, hand-eye coordination, and presentation skills.
Humanitarian Magic - July 2019
My humanitarian projects with refugees in Greece.
Since June of 2017, with the support of interpreters and staff from a multitude of aid organizations, I have run programs in 23 locations throughout Northern Greece for refugee children and families in search of a brighter future. It has been my hope that these enrichment programs boost self-confidence, engage creativity, promote an interest in the arts, and create invaluable positive memories.
Donate to Humanitarian Magic
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic I will not be able to travel to the refugee camps this summer. 100% of donations made below will go directly into a high interest saving account that is used to purchase equipment given directly to the kids (my hands to theirs) during my next visit.
Organizations that support my projects
Solidarity Now, Danish Refugee Council DRC, United Nations Hight Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund UNICEF, Open Society Foundations OSF, European Commission -Civil Pretection & Humanitarian Aid Operations - ECHO, Perichoresis NGO, Irida Center.
I am currently offering free interactive Zoom performances to healthcare workers during Covid-19.
