Are thoughts and prayers go out to Paris

swiss

After the atrocities in Paris last Friday, College Du Leman and the boarding house took time on Tuesday to pay their respects to the innocent people killed in the barbaric attacks on Friday evening in Paris. In a time of such uncertainty and worry the international spirit off goodness and freedom shone through as the world stood in unity against the mindless minority trying to disrupt and terrorize our way of living. Our thoughts and Prayers go out to everyone affected.
