Gifts were distributed to the winner of each game.Despite the bad weather, many participants came to the programme which was provided a great recreation during the summer holidays. Participants were from all origins (Pakistani, Arabic, French, and African background). Sisters enjoyed a lot and they asked MWL (France) to organize more events of this kind.
