France: at the bedside of hospitalized children

Every year, we accompany hundreds of sick children through hospitalization or convalescence in France. Our many volunteers are committed to their well-being and to giving them every chance of recovery.

Our “Accompagnement des enfants hospitalisés” (AEH) program aims to provide support for children hospitalized in French hospitals, most of whom are French, and whose parents are unable to visit them regularly (mainly due to geographical distance or complicated family circumstances).

In practical terms, volunteers known as ” sun sponsors ” undertake to visit them several times a week. They listen to them, show them affection, entertain them, share convivial moments… and create breathing spaces to lighten the course of their hospitalization.
