A Big Thanks to our Festival Volunteers!
The London International Children's Festival is fortunate to have first-class volunteers who truly are the heart of the Festival. The success of our 20th anniversary celebration this year was dependent on the excellent volunteers who shared their time and talents with us. We were delighted to have volunteers who have been a part of the Festival since its inception, as well as those who joined us for the very first time this year. These creative individuals took the initiative to enrich the experience of Children's Festival attendees while working at performance venues as ushers, ticket takers and hosts for visiting artists; outdoors as face painters, readers at the Story Dragon, set-up and take-down crew and many other roles. 2010 Children's Festival Volunteers, thank you for your commitment, positive attitude, flexibility and hard work! Your contributions are very much appreciated and helped to make our 20th annual Festival possible.
