Sharing-giving
Being a blood donor isn’t easy. Sometimes it’s possible, sometimes it’s not. It all depends on each person’s health, and it’s also a decision we make. Late yesterday, I gave blood at a city blood drive organized by the French Blood Establishment. It’s part of my values, and I was able to do it.

I wish the compagnie l’espante good luck in its future projects.
