“"When I was ten years old, we used to play with clay like this. This morning I was so concentrated that I found that feeling again. When you're a child, you don't have the same responsibilities, the same stress."

"I'm going back to Paris with so many stories in my head. Usually, in French class, when the teacher asks - what did you do this week ? - I have nothing to say. But this time, I'll speak during the whole hour !"
Sophia

"For a moment I was no longer here with you. I was in Senegal, on the street. I saw people passing by, I heard noises. I was really far away."
Hawaly

"I can't even put into words what I saw in Libya. I saw so many horrors. It's hard to describe."
David
1st stay
""As I pressed the earth, I felt an energy running through my body. I started by pressing slowly, gently. I was relaxed, at ease. Then I wanted to press harder. The anguish came up inside me. I tried to hold back my tears, but they began to flow down my cheeks in spite of myself. Now I feel liberated."
Maimouna

"It was my first time going to the theatre, but I loved it. I didn't understand the language, but I understood with my heart the arguments, the love between the characters. I can't wait to go back!"
