Yazan’s heart repared thanks to Banijay France
In april 2022, Banijay France employees beautifully responded to a solidarity challenge launched by Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque.
One year after Airelle’s team, whom efforts had allowed the heart surgery of a little Malian girl named Mariam, 138 walkers and runners took action and covered more than 20 000 kms, recorded in a sport app.
To reward these efforts, LOV Group paid for the surgery of Yazan, a 4-year-old syrian boy suffering from tetralogy of Fallot, a heart illness causing cyanosis and extreme tireness.
Yazan had surgery on June 14th 2022, and after a few weeks of recovery in his Franch foster family, he could get home with his eldest brother Zain, who also underwent heart surgery for another defect. Yazan and Zain went back to Syria alongside their family and they are now perfectly well.
This solidarity challenge has been the subject of an episode of LOV Group’s CSR podcast, Ondes Positives, with the participation of Banijay’s staff and Colomba Chetochine from the NGO, who helped banijay organizing the challenge.
