Last Saturday 4 Kili members - Manon M., Nathalie, Manon F. and Rosanna with her daughter - had arranged to meet at Accueil Bonneau to help with the preparation and service of about 480 meals. After a short visit round the premises, they made sure that everything was ready to welcome the needy people who would be coming to eat what could well be the only meal of their day. They include the homeless as well as families, students and old people.
The Kili members were impresssed by the organisation and efficiency in the preparation and service of the meals. Starting at 8h00 in the morning, volunteers prepare the meal and serve it to over 450 people. At midday, it's all over, including the washing-up!
A return visit is planned in November to help with this essential work. Poverty spares no-one and it's always rewarding for those, like us, who are among society's more privileged, to give some of their time.
Thanks to our hosts for their welcome and for allowing us to have this unforgettable experience.
Bravo Catherine
We'd like to congratulate our Kili team member Catherine who took part this weekend in the Défi-vélo 24 hours in aid of the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Catherine was part of the SCD (Service de Cartes Desjardins) relay team who, between them, cycled for 48 hours to raise money for this foundation which allows sick children to live their dream.
Bravo Catherine and all the team for having succeeded in this demanding feat for such an excellent cause!
