| Votre
Ecole Chez Vous (Your School at Home) has ensured this
year the home schooling of 163 children suffering from
an illness or handicap. |
 |
| The
Foundation provides support to VECV in the following
areas: |
the development of projects improving children's lifestyle
and learning. The "e-recess" project is now under
way. The goal is to provide an e-space where the children
can play and interact with others to make them feel less
isolated. Two volunteers are in charge of testing educational
game portals providing non-violent games which will encourage
the children to discover new horizons through the Internet,
interact with others, and participate in forums. These volunteers
then make their proposals to the association. An increasing
number of children will be using the e-recess in the coming
weeks.
provision and installation of computers. About twenty computers
have already been or will soon be delivered.
advice on the educational infrastructures and tools that
the association uses. A study was conducted by a voluntary
consultant from Steria on the association's management system
needs in terms of generating student files, teacher and
student timetables, activity follow-up and archives. Project
volunteers will start designing IT tools at the beginning
of the summer.
About ten Steria volunteers, co-ordinated by a sponsor,
will be involved in the project.

Loyal
to its principles, the Foundation has found help from
a voluntary sponsor among the Steria staff. This person
has the necessary professional skills in the field
and has offered to use them to serve the VECV.
Pascal, Account Manager for
the Steria Group, has been working on the project
since September 2001.
What progress has the Foundation's first
project made so far ?
" The project start-up: the first contacts were
made with the members of the VECV.
A team of ten volunteer employees, from different
entities of the Steria Group met for the first time
on Friday 12 October. We looked at our skills and
decided what each person could contribute to the project.
Ideas came together and everyone was eager to act!
What approach was chosen ?
We specified needs in a first meeting with
the association's staff. We also visited several pupils
to define these needs more precisely. The next step
is to start buying the equipment and then install
it.
