The Béarn Bigorre commandery of the International Order of Anysetiers embarked on a bicycle journey from Pau, then to Lourdes, and finally to Tarbes to donate collected gifts to three associations. They were supported in this journey by the cyclists of the friendly association of Serres-Castets.
“The International Order of Anysetiers is a service club founded in 1956 and stemming from a centuries-old tradition,” explains Eliane Boucher Garrabos, president or Grand Master of the Béarn Bigorre commandery. “We revolve around strong human values. Our motto: to help and give hope, especially to youth and people in need. During our journey today, we made three stops. Each time, we paused to make a donation to an association. In Pau, we met with the ‘Aux petits mouchoirs’ association. In Lourdes, we stopped for the Basco-Béarnais Hospitality. And finally in Tarbes.”
In the capital of Hautes-Pyrénées, the commandery presented a check for 1,500 euros. The money was raised through the many events organized by the Anysetiers.
“This amount is a real help for us,” adds President Romain Cabaup. “It will help us buy a computer and three tablets to lend to students. Each will be equipped with a learning program for the youth.”
A beautiful gesture of solidarity and humanity.
Note that the Béarn-Bigorre commandery is seeking volunteers in Bigorre.
