Reintegration of teenagers in difficulty

For René COULON, retired educationalist of the educative service in the tribunal of Saint Brieuc, and voluntary participant of Nomado and Chantal DOBIGEON, educationalist and dietician, both co-founders of the association, the facts are very clear. There exists an intelligence and potentiality among the youth in difficulty that the traditional institutions cannot make it emerge.

So, through various experiences in Morocco and in Nepal , some youth in difficulty had been confronted with the hard reality of the daily life of these people.

NEPAL

Expedition « Walk together » in nepaly language « Sangsangaï Hidnou »

From 15th of February to 30th of June 2000, Rene and Chantal had associated with a photographer and the services of Lama Randonnées Trekking (guides, cook and porters) to supervise an expedition with five French teenagers in difficulty. They had traveled over one thousand kilometers in the Himalayas alternately with the participation in mutual aid programmes, one week to repaint an orphanage in Kathmandu , participation in the harvest of a village, the transportion of stones for the construction of a school in a village…

The trip was an opportunity of effective mesure and tensions which highlighted not only the weak points but also the strong points of each youth.

Lack of self confidence, escape from immediate efforts, difficulties to put oneself in some plans happened to be the focus of daily life difficulties.

Not to forget a considerable factor, these young people had found themselves amongst the local population, who with the harshness of their own way of life, had a difficulty to understand the expression of their ill-being which will have contributed to help them develop.
