Entraide 

Entraide is a French word

It is a symbol of hope, humanity 

Interconnectedness and solidarity 

It means to help each other in mutual aid

But it is much more than that

Entraide is a selfless act

A mutual act when all parties find 

care and support 

in assisting each other 

in a profound way

In a way that often change one’s life

In a way that changes the course of human

Understanding

It can be in small gestures 

repeated over time or not

It is an act full of unconditional dignity 

It is the foundation of our humanity 

and the link that ties us all together 

gently bringing us peace

Entraide is what makes our souls sing

in harmony 

and like

A cup of tea for the one dying of thirst 

Entraide is a core principle 

A kindness 

Unabashed love for each other

It is, pure joy
