The Compassion Experience trailer

About

Bournemouth Town Square will be visited by the Compassion Experience over the Easter weekend (19–22 April). This 70-foot mobile trailer, created by child development charity Compassion UK, is a great way for both adults and children to experience the sights, sounds and smells of a developing country. This family-friendly experience will give visitors an insight into what life is like for some of the most vulnerable children in the world.

The trailer houses the interactive, tactile, audio and visual stories of Sameson, a boy from Ethiopia, and Shamim, a girl from Uganda. Both Sameson and Shamim grew up experiencing the vulnerability, restrictions, and dangers that poverty brings in their respective cultures and contexts but now are bringers of hope to their own communities.

The Compassion Experience will be in Bournemouth Town Square on:
Friday 19 April 2019 10am – 5pm
Saturday 20 April 2019 10am – 5pm
Sunday 21 April 2019 10am – 5pm
Monday 22 April 2019 10am – 5pm

The event is completely free, and open to members of the public. Booking is not compulsory, but if preferred, advance bookings can be made at: https://experience.compassionuk.org/experiences/book/42/
