Testimonial
Doctorante en sociologie
J’ai connu Sandrine lorsque Hand on Hear commençait à se développer. J’ai été impressionnée, et je le suis encore, par la détermination et le courage de Sandrine dans le lancement de ce très beau projet, qui, je l’espère, permettra encore d’aider de nombreuses personnes. Bravo à elle et à tous ceux qui l’ont rejoint pour mettre cette association sur pied !
