Nearly two hundred and fifty people at the Charles de Bellaigue picnic

The Charles de Bellaigue association's picnic brought together nearly two hundred and fifty people, compared to a hundred the previous year. This summer meeting brought together members and supporters around the solidarity actions carried out in favor of the children of Benin. It made it possible both to raise funds and to give news of ongoing projects.

Valérie de Bellaigue, president of the association, announced that the renovation of the library in Benin was almost complete and that work on the dispensary should soon begin. A work trip was planned in November to discover these achievements and get news of the seventy sponsored children. Several youth missions also had to intervene on site, especially for literacy.

Beninese handicrafts, cakes and other objects prepared by the volunteers were offered to the participants. The Moyo Sound orchestra, of which several musicians were from Benin, provided the musical atmosphere.
