Testimonial From Cécile Thiebault AUTISM SAHARA CHALLENGE 2023 Testimonial from Cécile Thiebault, who had an unforgettable experience with us in the vast Sahara."Personally, my testimony is intended to be a tribute, first of all, a tribute to you, Laïd, the initiator of this challenge. Because beyond the images that will circulate, each more breathtaking than the other, you allowed us to act in resistance, the most beautiful that can exist: resistance to indifference.There are deserts more arid than others, and the parents of autistic children and all those who fight to find their place in the world - because they are different - know what we are talking about.You allowed us to understand that in empathy, solid…

Testimonie from Charles Spedener I have already had the good fortune to explore the wonderful region around Djanet three times with the incomparable, friendly and lively Tuareg. Moments that have left deep impressions on me. It's not just the magical landscapes, the stunning frescoes on the plateau and the starry skies that are hard to describe, but also the Tuareg who accompanied us. As distant as their culture is from ours, the experience of experiencing their world together with them and immediately feeling at home was all the more amazing, an experience that was absolutely enriching for me. The last, but hopefully not the last trip I made together with a friend in 2018 and our tour guide was my friend Mouss…

I was personally convinced that this journey would be an experience engraved in the existence of our children. Certainly, challenges have followed in recent years...But nothing could dampen my motivation to give these children the right to exist. A daring challenge for some, even more than the 200 km marathon completed in January 2023 or the challenges in the Parisian region and France. And yes, t…
