Renowned Sanctuary reporter, Laurent Jarneau went to meet them and gave them the opportunity to explain. Their names are &#8211; in order of appearance on screen &#8211; Charlotte, Charlene, Augustin, Shona, Anthony, Flora, Florent, Michel, Juline, Emma, \u200b\u200bLea, Francis, Marie, Paul and Raphael. Their message is a unanimous one: in Lourdes, through volunteering to serve, they feel happy. Above all, they discover a real treasure: that of the importance of encountering others who are different from them. Their hearts are uplifted.
