Since the arrival on October 13 at the Trois-Châteaux estate of many Saint-Martin families, the residents have organized themselves to facilitate their daily lives.
Coye-la-Forêt. Municipality of 3 inhabitants located south of the Oise, bordered by the Chantilly forest. A city center enlivened by its shopping streets. Two primary schools and 800 students, whose hubbub enlivens the daily life of passers-by. All have decided to unite. To serve 240 families from Saint-Martin who have found refuge in the Trois-Châteaux area. They arrived on October 40 and must stay there for three months.
In just a few days, the mobilization took a considerable turn in the town. The organization of events fuse among the inhabitants to make the life of "these victims" more pleasant. "We don't want there to be any barrier between Coye's children and the little survivors," confesses Ilona Kert, optician at the Galerie du regard. Halloween is coming very soon and I decided to organize a makeup workshop that day! We are going to take the children out of their daily lives. "
"They must feel integrated"
Since their arrival, the children are schooled in the premises of the Domaine des Troix-Châteaux. An education set up quickly thanks to the donation of equipment from the two schools in the city. "We are an army of arms," says Véronique Huzan, head of the Solidarité association, Coye. They have been part of our village for a while and they must feel integrated. "
But while the students study, the time is long for the parents. And projects are lacking. “Some of us will be leaving the Estate in two weeks. We are gradually being helped to find accommodation everywhere in France, explains Wendy, a disaster victim who arrived with her two children. But we don't really know what to do with our days, and we don't necessarily dare to ask. ”
To remedy this, France Horizon, the operator partner of the Ministry of Territorial Cohesion, has just collected multiple board games, "offered by residents". “We also received toys and clothes. It could be that parties are also organized, “says one.
Feel at home, wherever they go. It is the will of all the Coyens, who do not intend to stop there. On November 10, the 40 families of Saint-Martin and their children will participate in a sporting event. In Coye-la-Forêt, no worthy competition. Only game. As a team. _AF
