Fondation Georges Charles – Centre de formation pour les jeunes differents

(Eng : Training Center for the young with handicap)

Entrance

This institution takes care of handicapped children and young adults by providing them facilities to learn and develop themselves. Most of these children are cannot attend regular school due to problems like transport/finance etc. They are obviously provided transport from and to their home.

At the Training center, they learn things like sewing, making artisanal artifacts, singing and more importantly, they interact with people who understand them.

Donations

The donation

As a member of SSSDGRB(Shri Satya Sai devotional Group of Roche-Bois) I accompanied some friend there to make a donation and visit the kids. A local company, Abax Corporate Services Ltd, represented by two ladies(I don’t have their name) were also present and they donated 3 New Sewing Machine..! The SSSDGRB donated a second hand PC(which i repaired myself. so its a kind of guaranteed by sozzz.net )

Robbery

Why donate these things? Have we gone super-generous just like that? No! In fact, as the Police Inspector present there talk to us, i learnt that there was a robbery that occurred there. The robbers took all the sewing machines and computers that the disabled kids used to learn. Why kind of immoral person would do that!? Well then.. i could comment on this but I’ll just let you have your opinion on this.

Meeting the kids

I believe all of them were assembled in the yard, so we met them all! no need to tell you, they had a BIG SMILE on their face because they were getting new material to work with! They even sang a song for us! I have a video!

The people there.. singing a song!

Endnote

People, there’s something you should know, if you have two good legs, two good hands and you know why 1 + 1 = 2, then thank god! Maybe, some wouldn’t truly understand what i mean until someday you meet these kids. Just meeting them can change your whole point of view on your very life.
