Giving is a commitment!
" Giving implies an ethical responsibility to the beneficiaries, with a duty to ensure that the action enables a real improvement and does not lead to negative consequences for those we support.
Giving is a commitment to those who receive it, guaranteeing transparency, respect and efficiency in our actions.
Bernard Sabrier, President
