Why the cause of Just for Smiles is important in my eyes Disabled children in particular need to be integrated into our daily lives and just for smiles makes an outstanding contribution to this, which I am happy to support. What is especially important to meHelping children who have a hard time in life. I am already a member of a social club that has made this task its main focus and I support various homes for disabled people. My vision for the future of Just for SmilesI like your work very much and it is forward-looking. Keep up the good work.

A walk in the Creux-du-Van with small, severely disabled children in specially adapted wheelchairs. It was a first for these children, and their teachers were as moved as we were.

My vision of the future for Just for Smiles

Why the Just for Smiles cause is important to meIt is a Swiss Foundation which has a local reach and operates close to our homes, close to my home, on a daily basis.

Board Member since 2009Senior Physician at the CHUVWhy the Just for Smiles cause is important to meIn Switzerland, Just for Smiles plays a unique and invaluable role in giving children whose physical mobility is severely restricted access to adapted physical activities. Not only is this a source of happiness and well-being for them, it also supports them in their development and health.An achievement that is close to my heartTo have been able to scientifically demonstrate in partnership with the Foundation that tandem skiing stimulates cardiac activity and movement control in severely disabled children.My vision of the future for Just for SmilesI’d like to see Just for Smiles continue to expand its services, in order to offer more regular adapted physical activities, throughout the year, to children who have few opportunities to move around.

Why the Just for Smiles cause is important to meI am the Mother of a, now grown up, autistic child and as such I have always wanted to be a part of a Foundation. I did not have time until now.An achievement that is close to my heartDeveloping places to welcome adults with autism, to support families who cannot take care of them 100% of the time. This is utopy! Some exist, but mostly open during the week-ends.My vision of the future for Just for SmilesI did not know this Foundation before, so it is important for me to make it known by every means we have at our disposal, in order to raise funds and thus be able to give back their smiles to autistic people and their families through the different activities.
