The Marie-Vincent Foundation has a new general manager, Jean-Pierre Aubin. He writes his first post.
“Engaging in the mission of Marie-Vincent is dreaming that the violence that acts in silence and looms up in the lives of children and adolescents can be eradicated. Of course, this dream, whatever it may be, must be based on actions and self-mobilization to become reality. It is in this spirit that I have recently chosen to take part in this mission.
This dream, is shared by the team that works daily for the cause. It is also the dream of our Board of Directors, of our partners and of our donors. If we can contemplate this dream, it is because we have come together to make it happen.
Sexual assault makes dreadful ravages, imperceptible to the naked eye, but the impact is important in the children’s lives. It is hard for young people to testify, share and raise awareness about this suffering, about the helplessness that the victims drag along day after day. We must break this silence to pursue our dream and give back to these young people the lightheartedness which allows them to have a different outlook on life. ”
