Internet Café: In this group, we try to demystify the myths surrounding computers and the Internet; members have the opportunity to discover the wonderful world of computers and the Internet, they also can create their own Email address and learn how to surf the web.

Cooking is a group that was created to help the members who need to learn how to cook on a restricted budget, to do it with respect and a sense of teamwork. Most of the members learn how to cook and how to look out for specials.

We do all sorts of things in this group, such as outings, shopping, learning how to say "no" when needed, learning how to make a budget on a monthly low income, and learning how to live in society, in groups, without feeling judged by others. The members learn how to assume their place in the society.

In the French Group, the English-speaking members familiarize themselves with the French language, while having fun. It is a small group that is animated by a volunteer since already two years; the volunteer uses books for beginners as well as pictures and songs; the members appreciate very much this group. After the course, they practise their French all along the day.

Participants love to make jewels. The volunteer is supposed to spend one hour making jewels, but instead her workshop lasts two hours because members like it so much. They use their creativity and they make things for themselves or for people they know will appreciate it.
