Education to build a better future

October 26, 2012

Our stay in Burkina Faso from 16 to 21 October was a great human adventure we are delighted to share wherever we can – especially because the children and people we met taught us a good life lesson.

It is a great pleasure for me to be able to share this fantastic mission, which showed us that, beyond the work undertaken to improve the quality of education for children, all of the efforts of UNICEF and the IKEA Foundation have had a positive impact on the whole community and future generations.

Before the field trip to Burkina Faso, some co-workers’ children from my store gave me some drawings to give to the children in Burkina Faso. It was an emotional moment for me!

Xavier, one of the ambassadors, brought a tree printed on large paper. We improvised a painting workshop. The children painted it with their footprints. This is a fantastic reminder that have brought back to France.
