A solidarity picnic for children in Benin Despite the rain, wind and cold, more than 150 people participated in the picnic organized at the Vaumicel by Valérie de Bellaigue, president of the Charles de Bellaigue association. The day was to contribute to the financing of the reconstruction of a school in Benin destroyed by a storm. The participants had brought their meal and had settled under the tents. The volunteers offered French and Beninese crafts, trinkets, dishes and other objects to the bargainers. The Renaissance of Bessin of July 22, 2011 underlines the conviviality and solidarity of this meeting. Archive image: https://vierville.cordelle.eu/PhDoc11/2011Juiilet22RB-BellaiguePNBenin.jpg
