<div>Summer has sounded the hour for a first assessment for <strong>Lire et Sourire</strong>, and the results testify to a fine show of solidarity: our volunteers have already provided <strong>1,376 hours of reading aloud in retirement homes</strong> to the elderly. Adding preparation and training time, the total comes to 3,716 hours of<strong>volunteer work</strong> performed in the first half of the year.<br><br>
</div><div>Today, <strong>Lire et Sourire</strong> works in <strong>126 retirement homes</strong>, thanks to the commitment of <strong>250 volunteers</strong>. Each reading session is a moment of sharing that brings residents:</div>+ escape thanks to the stories,+ comfort through the voice and caring presence,+ and above all a precious human bond, which helps break the isolation.<div><br></div><div>And this is just the beginning! Starting in September, <strong>new readings in retirement homes</strong> will get underway in <strong>Ain</strong>, <strong>Seine-et-Marne</strong>, <strong>Lyon</strong>, <strong>Douai</strong> and <strong>Annecy</strong>. The association thus continues to expand its network and bring the magic of words to more seniors.</div><div><br></div>
