The Friends of the Hospital are in store
For the past four years, Delphine has had a regular presence at the small shop at Henri-Dunant hospital which allows you to do some shopping such as various products and hygiene, sweets or drinks, and many other small things, even the possibility of having a coffee.

Takeaway
The confinements and health restrictions, which have followed one another for more than a year, have not failed to have a negative influence on the activities of the association. But never mind, the store has gone into ready-to-go, “drive” mode.
And in this period of very strong health restrictions, maintaining this store is more essential than ever. “The store is closed to the public. So people come to the door and I give them orders. Because even small, and no one really knows for how long, this place of life is essential for many, ”explains Delphine. Previously, it was once a week that she usually did the shopping to supply the store. It’s a lot more now. And, as proof of this understandable need for contact, he sometimes stays on the phone for long minutes with residents or hospitalized patients: “It’s super important, it allows us to keep in touch and it does them good. In a way, we compensate for the absence of families ”.
New terminal
interactive
In addition, the Friends of the hospital are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new interactive terminal which it has acquired. With the help of the participatory budget of the Departmental Council, the purchase was made possible. This “Mobil’Maklis” terminal will allow individual or collective and personalized activities involving singing, listening to music, quizzes, dancing, memory games, letters or numbers.
Easy to move, accessible and suitable for all audiences, including people in wheelchairs, the kiosk can be used in the room, improving the quality of life for people who cannot participate in group activities.
“She should be arriving in a few days. This will greatly expand the possibilities for activities because it is almost impossible, ”explains Michèle Ratel, president of the association who wants to remain positive. Admittedly, the annual general meeting could not take place, but membership cards are still available. “And these donations are tax deductible,” she reminds us.
