A
FEW WORDS ABOUT ALOUETTE

Alouette's story
The Alouette Foundation was founded in 1991, in the Philippines, by Bernard Pierquin. Mr. Pierquin, a social work executive, was formerly the director of a rehabilitation center for marginalized juveniles. This work experience and his personal beliefs led him to share his life with the people of the Malibay shantytowns (Pasay City, Manila) for two years. The two years he spent there enabled him to really comprehend the needs of these people, and to realize that the most urgent requirement involved educating the children.

The French Association
Alouette is a non-profit association, governed by the French Act of 1901. It is independent of any philosophical, religious or political opinions.

Its main objectives are:

  • To set up development actions in countries with populations in difficulty;
  • To assist individuals or groups in difficult situations with their specific requirements;
  • To defend and promote all actions aiming towards achieving these goals.

The Association’s existence is based on voluntary work
Colette Demeure is responsible for the association’s secretarial work. She is in daily contact with its Chairman, Bernard Pierquin, in the Philippines and acts as a link with members for managing sponsorships and the association’s other actions. Bernard Descoubes. takes care of the accounts. Other members lend their support (writing, printing and shipping the newspaper, translations, etc….)
Hard-working and motivated members are involved in actions whose aim is to raise funds and find new sponsors.
