Thursday, October 19, at 10 AM: Well-being Day at the Emergency Shelter Center โ rue Trachel
This “well-being” day is intended for women in extreme precariousness. Still numerous to be exposed to violence and life accidents, these women find themselves morally and physically weakened. These difficulties sometimes reflect a very degraded image of themselves.
Thus, this day aims to offer them a moment of relaxation and allows them to escape, for one day, from the difficult context in which they live and rediscover a femininity that has become secondary to survival concerns.
150 participants referred by partner associations and social services of the city of Nice and its CCAS will benefit from this day.
Friday, October 20, at 12:30 PM: Solidarity meal at the Forum Jorge Franรงois
The Forum Jorge Franรงois is organizing a solidarity action by offering 100 meals to people in need. Invited to this meal are the associations and CCAS services welcoming a public in extreme precariousness.
