Les Sockmonkeys: Toutous d'amour pour une bonne cause

Submitted by admin on

Sockmonkeys (c)Marine Rivoire
Connaissez-vous les Sockmonkeys? Ces petits toutous d'amour sont confectionnés dans des écoles et en ateliers de réinsertion et de réadaptation, puis offerts à des organismes à but non lucratif comme outils de levée de fonds.
 
Initiative lancée par Opération Sock Monkey,  elle appuie des organisations qui offrent des rires et de l'espoir dans les collectivités du monde entier touchées par la maladie, les catastrophes et les troubles socio-politiques. 
 
À Montréal, nos Sock Monkeys sont fabriqués bénévolement en ateliers de réadaptation, à la main, par un groupe encadré depuis plusieurs mois par Josée Martel et l'artiste Marie-Hélène Loisel.
 
 
 
 
Leur destin? 
Être adopté et s'installer chez vous ou parrainé pour être envoyé en communauté autochtone auprès des enfants que nous rencontrons avec Trickster.

Marin unijambiste aux yeux jaunes, grande mariée ventripotente, petit trapu portant des chaussons roses... les Sock Monkeys sont des pièces uniques, tous différents, tous imparfaits mais généreux et plein d'amour.
