Volunteering has been at the core of ALAN for more

Volunteering has been at the core of ALAN for more than 20 years. It is an essential part in our efforts to fulfil our mission, as we would not be able to organise as many events and activities for our members if it were not for the invaluable support from our volunteers.

Due to the pandemic, many of the volunteering activities were stopped or reduced for the past 2 years. But our volunteers never lost their motivation, and we are all excited that activities have picked up again.

So, it was the perfect time to organise another “Soirée Bénévoles” – an evening to bring the team and volunteers together for a workshop and relaxed dinner.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our volunteers who offer their time, expertise and kindness to support the rare disease community.

If you’d like more information about the volunteering programme at ALAN, please visit: https://alan.lu/become-a-volunteer/

🦮 🐎 🐐 🐓 🐖 🐇

Animal-assisted therapy is an important tool for the psychological counselling of kids that are affected by a rare disease because it can:

* reduce anxiety

* provide an escape from their daily routine

* reduce pain

* encourage solution-oriented thinking

* improve social skills

* build self-esteem

* improve motor skills

* help regulate emotions

A big THANK YOU to our friends from @ate_lux , ASA asbl and Bricher Paerdsstall for making all of this possible 🙏

Our 2021 Annual Report has been published and was presented at our recent General Assembly!

Why did we see this increase in the number of requests for support? What else did ALAN focus on in 2021? Who are the new members of our Board of Directors?

A warm atmosphere, emotional moments and inspirati

A warm atmosphere, emotional moments and inspirational messages – that about sums up the opening of our “RaReflections” photo exhibition in collaboration with @sophiemarguephotography yesterday at the Luxembourg City Central Train Station.

The exhibition is shown at the train station until the end of March, so go and have a look around - it's worth it 😊

A big thank you to our partner @cflinfos who have wholeheartedly supported us in every aspect of this project.

A big thank you also to the sponsor of the project, the @bcee_spuerkeess, and our partners from the @villedeluxembourg and the @sante.lu who support us time and time again.

And last but not least, many thanks to @henrigoergen, who captured this wonderful event for us on camera.

The complete gallery with all the pictures from the opening is available on: https://alan.lu/fr/galerie/rareflections-vernissage/

One of the highlights of Rare Disease Day is the Global Chain of Lights – the illumination of public and symbolic buildings around the world in the colours of Rare Disease Day, during the last week of February and the first week of March.

Luxembourg is of course part of this global chain and we are thrilled that so many councils, institutions and companies are participating this year, thereby sending a strong message of solidarity with our community. A huge thank you to all our partners for their support.

In Luxembourg, buildings in Luxembourg City, Contern, Esch, Grevenmacher, Larochette, Mersch, Mondorf, Sanem, Schengen, Steinfort, Wiltz and more, will be illuminated in purple, pink, green and blue.

The complete and up-to-date list, as well as all other important information about Rare Disease Day, is available at : https://alan.lu/rare-disease-day/

“Just like Martin Luther King, I have a dream:

I dream of a society,

• where respect, tolerance and honesty will govern the way we interact with each other,
