L’Envol
L’ENVOL pour les enfants européens is a not for profit organization which has welcomed in the spring and summer close to 6,000 children and adolescents. All of them suffer from chronic illnesses that usually confine them within a caring yet narrow world of hospital and family. During twelve days in an exceptional setting, the domain of Echouboulains -- château, park plus 30 hectares complete with swimming pool and workshops -- the children discover a community through numerous activities. Volunteers from the Cathedral help with the association's annual 'clean-up day': painting rooms, raking leaves, and simply doing whatever needs to be done to spruce up the surroundings before the children's arrival.
