| New ! The Coup de Pouce project ! In recent years, we have been frequently confronted with individual cases that could not be dealt with through our existing projects. For instance, we have had cases of street accidents involving kids (requiring urgent medical assistance), or episodes of home violence (requiring psychological and legal counseling). Brainstorming with the members of the Kids Home Club of the American School of Paris, we came to the conclusion that a new, more flexible supporting tool was needed. This is how we started the Coup de Pouce project.
Through the Coup de Pouce, we will be able to provide children and their families with a variety of services right when they are needed. While the main tool for support will not be monetary. the Coup de Pouce will also dispose of a 'Fund' to cope with emergencies (ex. medicines or doctor's bills) or to address temporarily situation of financial distress. IN the last month of 2010, Coup de Pouce has already supported 9 children and their families. During 2011 the CDP will receive critical support from the OECD War on Hunger Group and the Kids Home Club created by a brilliant group of students of the American School of Paris.
