Today, I've decided to talk about “Les restaurants du Coeur” because if I were an adult this would be the first case where I would  get involved. 
This association helps all year poor persons. They distribute packed lunch, hot meals to homeless and distribute medicine.

Firstly because the story of its creation is quite banal.

 One day in 1985, Coluche by signing a check for taxes said: “You realize, with all the money I give, if all the guys that have the money as I put it, we could fix the problem”. 

He realized that with money from taxes it could provide 200,000 meals. 

Coluche was already involved in associations and had revolted against food waste! 

He denounced the consumer society. 

On December 21, 1985, the first “restaurants du Coeur” opened under a tent in a waste ground in Paris. “Les restaurants du Coeur” are now found in all cities among which Bourges.

And this project worked because since its creation the number of meals served has exceeded the billions! There are several ways to rally  this cause: we can be a donor, volunteer but also artists because lots of singers or actors sing in the group of “Enfoirés”.

If I was an adult I would have chosen to be a volunteer because unfortunately I sing very badly. ;-)

More seriously, what I like about being a volunteer is contact with people with such great reward just a smile!  

This must be quite moving but a good action to help people in difficulty. 

And there will be more volunteers “Les restaurants du Coeur” will continue to grow and help people in trouble and I think it's a great charity.
