Be parents to the Minguettes

Be parents to the Minguettes

In the sensitive district of Minguettes in Lyon, the association "Eveil Djongomas" helps parents of immigrant children to face the difficulties they encounter. We attend a meeting where a man from African immigration explains that for some communities "the education of a child is the business of society" and that everyone is entitled to intervene with a child who acts badly. Aïssatou KOUROUMA, president of the association, adds "There are economic difficulties that are added to life and that can make education difficult". The report ends with the testimony of Evelyne ARNOUX, filmed on her balcony in the city of Minguettes. This mother who raises her son alone and has difficulty earning a living, expresses her dismay in front of a teenager who does not understand that he can not "consume" as he would like. She says, "I’ve never been able to bring everything I wanted to bring to my children"
