Mon fils Charles est revenu enchanté des deux semaines (vacances de février) passées chez Mairead. Il a fait de nombreuses activités en famille. Promenades, randonnée d’après Charles « je n’ai pas chômé » tellement qu’il a le pleins d’activités et de sorties. L’accueil de la famille était très chaleureux. Une famille bienveillante. Charles a passé un séjour mémorable et espère pouvoir retourner dans cette famille à chaque vacance scolaire. Je vous remercie infiniment. Charles remercie chaleureusement la famille et à Mario. Mention spéciale pour Zoé qui a quitté son travail pour venir dire au revoir à Charles.
... à Mairead, certainement l'âme de cette Maison vivante, où l'on sait à la fois générer la joie et aussi recevoir celle des jeunes accueillis. Depuis son retour Yoan (14 ans) ne parle que de retourner l'année prochaine auprès d'eux, et leurs super enfants ,dans ce pays où, dit-il "rien n'est comme ici". Outre sa bonne humeur, la famille Brendan & Mairead aura su aussi être proche et réconfortante lorsque c'était nécessaire. Avec nos remerciements réitérés, nous lui exprimons notre grande et sincère gratitude et lui demandons si possible de bien vouloir garder une place l'an prochain pour Yoan.... Geneviève et Michel W.
