Good idea,but how can I join?
Bonjour,
Je MAVINGA DAVID, je suis congolais de la République Démocratique du Congo,

Je suis vivement touché par cette merveilleuse idée de soutenir les jeunes au travers le monde en leur accordant des moyens d’études. je souhaiterais joindre un jour mon dynamisme et savoir à soutenir cette idée afin d’avoir un avenir meilleur dans le monde en baissant sensiblement le taux de pauvreté.
A l’attente d’une suite favorable, veuillez agréer toute ma gratitude la plus distinguée.
