Haiti
At the initiative of the Musical Comédie association and with the support of the City and the Urban Community of Strasbourg, a large concert bringing together 35 artists was given at Zenith in Strasbourg. The purpose of the operation was to provide support to the Jacmel music school, considered a local institution, a vector of social cohesion.
The teachers' house was thus rehabilitated thanks in particular to donations collected during the concert. Support for the functioning of the structure was granted, helping to resume classes.
Even today, action must continue, on all fronts.
The UN calls on donors to support the fight against cholera which has affected Haiti since 2010.

Somalia - SWDC
The association is headed by Mama Zaraq. Mama Zaraq, that's what she's nicknamed in Somalia, is the head of the Somali Women Development Center. Tall and thin under her veil, she has been fighting for more than ten years through her association for the cause of Somali women and children. Because if today Somalia rhymes with famine, since 1991, the country is in the grip of a civil war. Since 2008 Somalia has been classified as the most failing country in the world.
At the initiative of the Passages et Culure de Paix association, a Grand Concert was given at St-Paul Church in Strasbourg in the presence of Tawakkul Karman, Nobel Peace Prize 2011, with the reformed Golden Gate Quartet, Clémentine Célarié and the Groove Family, Creole Orchestra, Saori Jo, Abd al Malik and groups of gospels from the region.
(Texts read by Mama Zaraq, Somali Women Development Center, Carole Bouquet, actress,
Dominique Blanc, actress, Pinar Selek, feminist activist and defender of peace in Turkey, Tawakkul Karman, Nobel Peace Prize in 2011.)
Why support Somalia?
There are hundreds of causes, some of them very close to us. But in Somalia, there is an emergency.
On September 7, the UN declared a state of famine in six of the eight southern regions.
From now on famine takes precedence over life ... 53% of the population, or nearly four million people, are no longer able to meet their food needs.
It is important to note that famine is declared when the rates of acute malnutrition in children exceed 30%, more than two in 10,000 people die per day and the population is unable to access food, and this despite the increase in humanitarian aid.
On the other hand, many women and girls in Mogadishu live in constant fear of rape. New government team in Somalia should urgently adopt reforms aimed at ending the endemic phenomenon of sexual violence ... to be continued ... Over the past year, women and girls in Somalia have been exposed to high risk of rape and sexual abuse, including by government soldiers, in the capital, Mogadishu.
The money donated for more than 30 years is unfortunately misappropriated by their governments for military purposes. With the association of Mama Zaraq it is a guarantee to see this money used for their cause.

The Food Bank
We were a few artists gathered during a concert given at the St-Pierre-le-Vieux church in Strasbourg in order to collect food donations.
The Food Banks were founded on principles which still govern the daily life of the 98 Food Banks and branches: the fight against food waste, sharing, donation, gratuity, volunteering and patronage.

Dune of Hope
See the smiles and the joy of the children, happy to have their place among all the runners, despite their handicap, to surpass themselves in magnificent running events.
This is the only goal of the association, their way of campaigning for "living well together" thanks to a formidable vector: the "joëlette".
Alongside the Duniens, the children experience an unforgettable moment of sharing, sometimes in sporting suffering but certainly by surpassing oneself. It is a moment of calm that removes the difficulty of their daily life for a race.
Go run, hike with them! Give meaning to your Sunday hike;)

Les Restos du Coeur
"Almost 30 years later, 130 million balanced meals are distributed by the association (2012-2013). Unfortunately, the Restos du Cœur have largely crossed the bar of one billion meals served since their creation ...
Today, the most serious dietary deficiencies have almost disappeared, but poverty has taken on a different face: accidents of life, precarious contracts and poor workers, young people under 25 who do not have RSA, retirees with only “Minimum old age”…
In France, more than 8 million people live below the poverty line. Source: INSEE report on precariousness in France of August 30, 2011 (INSEE 2009 figures)
Beyond food aid, the Restos du Cœur very quickly extended their actions to personal assistance and integration. Because to permanently emerge from exclusion, a meal is not enough. We must also resolve all the difficulties (finding a job, having a home, etc.) for lasting integration. "
