Indo’Child in three words?

It is largely thanks to Laurence Vassas’ own funds that Indo’Child can survive today. But many donations also make it possible to support the life of the school. Furthermore, Laurence had a villa and a bungalow built near the school. Initially, it was her personal residence, which she rented to meet the needs of the association:
- Teachers' salaries
- Internet electricity
- Director's salary from school


Petrol costs for the school bus: a moped and its cart which amuses the children a lot

Purchasing school materials

Indo’Child was also able to count on the hardworking hands of generous volunteers. Do you know woofing? The concept ? For a helping hand farm, DIY or gardening, you are housed and fed. This concept is developing throughout the world and allows you to travel as close as possible to local populations. And of course if we talk to you about it it’s because there is a link with Indo’Child. Because indeed, many young globetrotters get involved in the school for its maintenance. They were also of great help during the construction for the painting, for example, which was entirely carried out by these young volunteers. Moreover, two participants of the Vendanges du Cœur 2017 mobilized for this great cause.

Moments of joy punctuate school life throughout the year, such as these meetings and the regular snacks organized with the children. Or even like the inauguration of school in 2017! “A great moment of happiness” remembers Laurence, “we invited the whole village”.

It is true that certain difficulties also arise regularly, such as corruption which poses obstacles to the proper functioning of the school. But nothing can stop Laurence in her march for the education of the children of her village, in the communication around this project that she represents and in her empathy for others.

Today, the school is completely built but the maintenance costs are significant each month. And to be honest, Laurence shares a lot with the young people around her. For example, she regularly offers hundreds of pairs of tap shoes to her schoolchildren who often walk barefoot. She makes herself available to distribute essential medicines or treat a small wound.

Indo’Child is the story of a woman of conviction who gives her time and with whom we are proud to associate!
