A family from the Caen region intends to help a village. Gregory, the father, left this Thursday, November 22, 2018 for the country of Asia.
The project
Gregory left this Thursday. Head to Cambodia, where this 39-year-old firefighter wants to mount a humanitarian project: "Renovate and expand a school. Special feature of the initiative: he leads her as a family.
His wife Julie, a block nurse, has already been to this Asian country in 2016 to help the teacher
Hervé Benateau, of the University Hospital of Caen, to operate children suffering from maxillofacial problems (facial malformations), as part of a humanitarian mission. "Our two daughters, Ines and Romane, were both surprised and interested in this trip," recalls Gregory Auriol, stationed in Falaise. Himself involved in this type of action, he imagined with his companion "a mission with the family, to open the girls to what we have known" .
Their comrades too could be "sensitized, through photos and videos, to other cultures" . One way to fight "clichés about poverty in other parts of the world" .
Grégoire remains cautious about the project itself: "With a Cambodian doctor, Lamvinh Samreth, whom Julie met, we targeted a village in Oukoki in the center of the country to renovate the school. During my four days there, I will specify the needs. With the concern to buy local materials and to involve the villagers.
First estimate of the project: € 2,500 to collect. If Grégoire wants to take all his family a few weeks in 2019, to participate in the completion of the project, he still waiting to define how to act most effectively.
