Cupcake the Clown also known as Fiona McKenzie arrived from Melbourne Australia. This is Fiona’s second visit to Sarnelli House. She entertained the children with a magic show, face painting and balloon making over the course of 5 days, and even had time to pass on some of her skills to the children as well as leaving behind plenty of balloons, balloon pumps and face paints. (see our face-painting photos)
