Dorothée Sonntag, sponsor of the association Repas Part'âge
- What is the association you sponsor? How do you know it?
The association Meals Part'âges was born from an observation: seniors are particularly affected by isolation and malnutrition. Through conferences and workshops, this team gives back confidence to the elderly and gives them the keys to "eat well to age well".
It was through the Foundation's internal newsletter that I discovered the 2-in-1 project I sponsored: a conference on dietetics adapted to people over 65 and the preparation of a meal from A to Z among the co-tenants of a senior residence. All this took place in Hem, just a stone's throw from Afibel's headquarters.
- Why do you support the association?
I am a foodie by nature, so thinking that some of our seniors may lose their appetite or eat poorly touched me immediately. (Re)giving the pleasure of eating well goes much further than just eating: at the table, it is also one's joy of living that one feeds! And supporting such a cause is just as good!
In a few words, how does the Foundation help the association?
The purpose of the Foundation is to support organizations thatimprove the well-being of seniors, to their health and to encourage social ties. or toencourage the social link. Here, the project of Part'âges Meals combines the 3 at the same time!
- If you could describe your experience with the association in one or two sentences:
Throughout the sponsorship, I got to know the person in charge of the association: he is full of energy and benevolence and there is no lack of projects! Moreover, the association has started to diversify by allowing seniors to realize their biggest dream, or by setting up workshops to fight against illiteracy. I would love to continue the adventure with this association by sponsoring new projects!
