ABOUT THE ARK

The purpose of the ARK is to assist the english speaking communities of the Var in areas of  Pastoral care where there may be need of compassionate help and personal support. Such instances would include bereavement, illness, stress and other difficulties where there may be limited physical or emotional resources to cope with the day to day problems that may arise in their lives.  ABOUT THE ARK

 
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Take Care"    was on March 24th  at Chateau de Berne, Lorgues 83

By all accounts, the day at Chateau de Berne  looking at some of the more difficult aspects of growing old in France was a helpful exercise.  We looked at as many aspects as possible related to this subject and  though almost as many questions were raised as answers found, it has put the subject onto the radar in a more focused way.

Our thanks also go to the sponsors who made the day and the lunch possible and accessible to everyone and to Chateau de Berne for being immensely generous in the provision of their beautiful facility at a  “bargain” price.
