Scheduled for the weekend of November 1, authorized subject to heavy constraints, the flea market of the Colomiers Jumelage et Support (CJS) association has just been canceled. Bad news for the CJS, which placed all its hopes in the maintenance of this event. “But this is only a postponement,” they say, crossing their fingers that the next flea market can be held in the spring of 2021.
“Our half-yearly flea markets allow us to support major projects in Burkina, a country in great difficulty: over the past fifteen years, we have thus financed health centers, the construction of a building for an agricultural cooperative, recovery and nutritional education, school classes and canteens, and the installation of solar panels to allow children in particular to do their homework after dark. Not to mention the training of populations, the development of apprenticeship for young people , and field schools for adults, where the development of sustainable agriculture is practiced.
Currently, we are supporting the agroecological farm of Guié and we have just accepted the renovation of a maternity unit, in collaboration with the association L’Autan et l’Harmattan de Merville ”.
In the immediate future, here and now, there is a thorny problem “We were counting on our fall flea market to empty our storage rooms, which are very full, explain the organizers. In addition, we recently had to free some part, which translates to 10 pallets to be recased somewhere, so we absolutely have to find a new space. “
Hoping that this call will be heard, the CJS is also available to anyone needing furniture (wardrobes, tables, beds, desks, armchairs, chairs, etc.), or wanting to revamp the old one, just to call the volunteers, who will offer a very wide choice at ultra-competitive prices.
