Foreign nationals may be detained in Switzerland for up to 18 months. We represent our often destitute clients before the courts and ensure that they are not unlawfully detained. Most of our clients never get to see a lawyer, even though some of them have been in custody for months. Without legal representation it is not realistic to win or even to make a complaint.

More rooms in various sizes offer space for workshops, Coaching, Meditation, Yoga and other movement techniques. The investment-phase has started. We are focusing our engagement on a building we found in a central place in Zurich, where from April 2014 four floors will be available. The calculations for the rent will come in around end of June. We need a lot of financial resources and the Crowdfunding is just a start for it. To start the establishment of the company, pay a small salary to the leading team and as depot for the rent, we are looking for small and bigger donations and we will give you some goodies in exchange. Some of the team members have still some income from other jobs. All the raised money will be hold on an account at the Swiss Alternative Bank and will be set free as we need it.

This project consists in giving group of adolescents with type 1 (insulin-dependent), aged 14 to 17 years, from Switzerland and Quebec, activities to share together the management of their disease and discuss the challenges and solutions that can help them to become more autonomous in the daily management of their treatment. After a first edition managed by the HUG in 2011, the Association Genevoise des Diabétiques (Geneva Association of Diabetics) organises another meeting that will bring together, for two weeks in the summer of 2016, 24 adolescents. Switzerland and Canada sometimes have some differences in their approach of the treatment that have greatly enriched adolescents during 1st meeting. Participants also witnessed a real awareness on the feeling of not being alone in living with type 1 diabetes. The exchange will take place from 8 to 24 July 2016 and will bring together 12 young participants from each country, boys and girls as well as the 4 nurses and 4 adults who will be supervising the project. The teenagers from Quebec will spend the first week in Switzerland, met with their exchange partners and in turn will receive the Swiss during the second week under the same conditions. Thus, at the heart of families, they will have the opportunity to speak of diabetes, constraints and share tips with each other. Swiss families are planning a program of visits and activities to accommodate Quebec participants, and make them live in various group experiences meant to strengthen the management of their diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (also known as insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes) occurs when the pancreatic beta cells which normally produce insulin necessary to regulate blood sugar, are destroyed by the patient's immune system. Type 1 diabetes occurs most often in children and young adults but can affect people of any age. Type 1 diabetes is treated with daily insulin injections (with insulin pens or insulin pumps ). There is no way to prevent type 1 diabetes. The funding of this project must be completed before June 30, 2016. Several initiatives are planned to raise funds (see graph below) and we need to CHF 6’000 to fund an activity of two days in the mountains including a stay during the night in a cabin. This will allow them to learn how to manage their disease in height with a physical effort.
