A gesture, a thought for those forgotten at Christmas
Ils sont si nombreux les oubliés de Christmas, gens d’ici et d’ailleurs, qu’on peinerait à en dresser une liste. Difficile d’avoir l’esprit entièrement rempli de l’excitation des préparatifs de Noël, en sachant qu’un bon nombre d’entre nous ne passera pas la période des Fêtes dans la joie. Un petit geste, une pensée peut faire beaucoup de différence dans la vie de ces personnes. Voici, à titre d’exemple, une initiative à laquelle vous pouvez contribuer tout en faisant vos emplettes de Noël.
The Heart Chain
Founded in 2008, the charity La Chaîne du Coeur (www.lachaineducoeur.fr) is the first web TV channel exclusively dedicated to solidarity and the environment, informing, raising awareness, and taking action. Its goal is to present humanitarian news in an innovative and positive way to encourage e-donations for the benefit of concrete initiatives carried out in France and abroad. The organization has reached more than 400 associations and already offers 5,000 videos (interviews, reports, etc.), representing 2,400 hours of programming.
This year, for Christmas, the online sales site Price Minister (http://www.groupe-priceminister.com) and the Chaîne du Cœur are jointly organizing a generous sale, from December 2 to 22, sponsored by six personalities for the benefit of six charities. The resulting proceeds will be donated to the aid groups supported by the operation. PriceMinister.com is making its marketplace and audience available free of charge, while waiving its commission on sales.
Some examples of products on sale (with a discount of up to 70%) on the Price Minister website:
– Faguo Tennis,
– Sequin tunics, Stella Forest,
– Men’s shirts and cashmere sweaters
Bruce Field,
– Yves Rocher beauty baskets,

– De superbes vêtements pour enfants de la birth
at 12 years old,
– Exclusively created La Chaîne du Cœur T-shirts
for this generous sale.
Those who work
Let us take this opportunity to remember all those who will be working on Christmas Day and New Year's Day: the doctors, nurses, police officers, customs officers, and all the thousands of people who will be there to provide, day and night, all the services that we benefit from year-round in our society. THANK YOU!
