Reception of asylum seekers (News 2016, by Christian Brun) - Swiss Press Award

Anick and Alain Christen welcome Eritrean Morad Essa into their home with their children. This pilot experiment on Vaud soil inaugurates a project of the Swiss Refugee Aid Organization (OSAR), which provides accommodation for asylum seekers in private homes. The Vaud Migrant Reception Center (EVAM) has been a partner from the outset. The main objective of this initiative is to facilitate and accelerate the integration of migrants who will remain in Switzerland for the long term. This Thursday, April 16, 2015. In Lully-sur-Morges.
