Some stroies take place not only in places of hurt but also in places of hreat peril.A couple of American clowns intended to travel to Turkey for a tour in July 2016 before a coup occured there.The Americans' trip was cancelled,but the Turkish clowns that were to host them carried on with the project bravely.

These stories can also show how CWB connects people in surprising ways. "In Colobia, an armed police squad approached a children's performance to destory the shanty town that children were living in. The clowns were instructed to stay as witness and did.They comforted the families and maintained  an air of humor thile the police debated whether or not to completely destroy the town."Sucu stories show that a cheerful heart,as the proverb says,is indeed good medicine.
