Un bénévole de l’Université de Bath à La Giraudière

Posted on September 11, 2017 by La Giraudiere

Lewis, un étudiant de 20 ans de Bourne au Royaume-Uni, a choisi de passer trois semaines à faire du bénévolat à La Giraudière.  Lewis étude la gestion internationale et le français à l’Université de Bath.

Le séjour de Lewis a été raccourci  à cause d’un problème concernant sa santé. Seulement deux jours après son arrivée, il devait voir notre médecin local. En fin , Lewis a préféré raccourcir son séjour ici et retourner au Royaume-Uni pour s’occuper de son état, avant de retourner à l’université à la fin du septembre.

Au cours de ses jours à La Giraudière, Lewis a fait une grande impression sur le groupe et a contribué à la traduction de lettres et à la recherche pour le projet YERRF.

“Merci Lewis”

Lewis, heureusement, avait une bonne assurance de voyage qui, on espère, payera sa visite avec le médecin, ses médicaments, ses frais de voyage supplémentaires et ses frais de bénévolat.

N’oubliez jamais qu’il est très important d’avoir une bonne assurance de voyage, lorsque vous voulez faire partie d’un projet de bénévolat.

Volunteer from University of Bath at La Giraudiere

Posted on September 11, 2017 by La Giraudiere

Lewis, a 20 year old student from Bourne, UK chose to spend three weeks volunteering at La Giraudiere. Lewis is studying international management and French at the University of Bath.

Lewis’ stay was shortened due to a problem concerning his health. Only two days after his arrival, he had to see our local doctor. At the end, Lewis preferred to shorten his stay here and return to UK to care after his condition, before going back to university at the end of September.

During his few days at La Giraudière, Lewis made a big impression on the group and helped with the translation of letters and researching for the project YERRF.

“Thank You Lewis”

Lewis, fortunately, had a good travel insurance which will hopefully pay for his doctor’s visit, medication, additional travel costs and the volunteering fees.

Never forget that it is very important to have a good travel insurance, if you are planning to be part of a volunteering project.
