Three weeks in July or August
To do this, volunteers must find families who agree to open their homes for three weeks in July or August , “to help these children discover another environment, to make new friends, to live others. experiences and have, they too, a summer to tell in the fall.
“Beautiful stories are born of these encounters, as can be witnessed by young adults, who have maintained links with their “summer family”.”
