The Charles de Bellaigue association pursues the Alphakoara school in Benin

The Charles de Bellaigue association held its general meeting to close the 2009 accounts and present its 2010 actions. Dedicated to the cultural and educational development of children in Benin, it had 131 sponsored children. An annual payment of €50 helped with their schooling. President Valérie de Bellaigue recalled that sponsorship was tacitly committed over several years and had to be renewed: when sponsors were missing, the association took over, to the detriment of its other projects.

In Alphakoara, in northern Benin, the goal was to reach six classes. Two were already built and two others in progress, with a complete development. The announced cost for these four classes was about €10,000. Contributions and demonstrations of support therefore remained important. The picnic on the third Sunday of July brought together more than 300 people in 2010.

Laure de Bellaigue had been elected secretary to replace Véronique Onufry. The cut is published in La Renaissance du Bessin of November 5, 2010.
