Thème: Partage et fraternité
" Il y a dans le monde, des riches et des pauvres. Et, quelques uns à mi-chemin des deux mondes. J'ai voulu, à la suite d'une situation pénible, exprimer mes idées, mes élans, mon désir de voir le monde sans préjugés négatifs. Une jeune geisha se cachant dans les fleurs et les herbes hautes pour mieux observer qui sourit peut-être par politesse ou de satisfaction devant les gestes amicaux des gens et enfants du reste du monde. Qui sait? On y voit une multitude noire qui a faim et soif, certains rient pour peut-être ne pas pleurer. Ou bien, sont-ils heureux de l'aide et la compassion qui s'en viennent? Arrive une enfant au coeur d'or qui se fait aider par sa mère pour offrir une boîte contenant quelque chose et un garçonnet qui apporte une gerbe de fleurs, de légumes. J'y vois un garçon, un de ceux qui ont la chance de manger trois repas par jour, nous démontrer qu'il aimerait que tous les enfants du monde puissent comme lui, avoir son bol de céréales avec du lait frais. Son regard se porte ailleurs sur les petits enfants noirs qui manquent de tout, de l'essentiel même. Un jeune scout fait le guet en cas de pagaille entre les mondes:"Toujours prêt!". Parce qu'à ses côtés dans la vie quotidienne, l'été, il y a les familles qui peuvent pique-niquer, insouciants, dans la belle nature parfois près d'un lac ou d'une rivière. Et ceci, devant un chien qui semble triste à mourir. Est-ce son genre d'animal ou bien sait-il qu'il y en a ailleurs qui n'ont pas cette chance? Cette scène se déroule, preuve qu'il y a toujours de l'espoir devant une poignée de deux hommes qui se mettent d'accord pour faire liaison entre les pays pour que tous mangent à leur faim et aient de l'eau potable pour vivre. La misère des pays occidentaux ou dits "riches" est d'un autre ordre. Je l'ai exprimé par une jeune fille romantique qui rêve d'amour dans un pays où règne la paix et la concorde. Mais, dans le monde matériel, son rêve d'amour vient se perdre dans les bras d'un bouffon qui brandit des ballons en guise de jours de joie.
Thérèse Richard, 2005.
Thérèse Richard was born in Montreal in 1930 in the Rosemont district. She evolved with a pen in one hand, colored pencils in the other and a good dose of talent for animation.
Before her marriage, she worked as a secretary at the St-Jean-Baptiste Society as well as for the Ste-Croix Fathers at Éditions Fidès and at St-Joseph's Oratory. She was also responsible for the J.O.C. (Jeunesse Ouvrière Catholique) on a voluntary basis, particularly in the Rosemont district.
Mother of 6 children, grandmother and great-grandmother, her life has been full. And, each holds a special place in their hearts.
But his journey has been strewn with pitfalls. His life was marked in a singular way by a divorce which occurred at a time when this was not commonplace. The situation was far from easy. Despite everything, she went through the trials with courage and creativity. His spirituality and personal growth classes have helped him come to grips with and cope with the music.
On the other hand, artistic activities served as a stick of resilience. This served as a release, an outlet to successfully get through. She therefore values art as a tool for personal growth or mental survival in adversity by escaping into the imagination.
Along her journey, she got involved in various ways with those who had a similar experience: women, children, single-parent families; but also the elderly. This, by bringing his talents as a contribution to promote the development of each. And, many are the activities constituting his baggage. However, not everything can be listed here. But, here are a few…
Advocating for the cause of women, she worked within the AFEAS organization where she did a lot of animation. Journalistic talents in her pocket, she naturally took the path of writing to write the organization's regional newsletter, "Le lien". She also wrote a column that appeared in the Guide de Montréal-Nord. She even assumed the role of president of the Association des Femmes chefs de famille at the CLSC de Montréal-Nord for a while.
These same talents were put at the service of the children. Moreover, the “Parent-secours” organization has benefited from his involvement in setting up a network in Montreal North. She also acted as a liaison officer and editor for the Guide de Montréal-Nord to represent the organization and raise public awareness.
And, advocating the development of children through sport, she also got involved in the Gymkana Gymnastics Club. She was a "speaker", editor and publicist via, once again, the Guide de Montréal-Nord. Although his words were sometimes incisive, they were always used with tact and diplomacy. And, they still served a worthy cause.
Later, it was the elderly who benefited from his ...
