After the visit, the two First Ladies had a short interaction with the kids. The young Adou Yao Juv\u00e9nal, on behalf of the residents, thanked Mrs Dominique Ouattara and Mrs Brigitte Macron for their commitment to children. He promised on behalf of all the young residents to seize this new opportunity offered to them. Mrs. Macron took this opportunity to express her congratulations to the residents. According to President Macron's wife, they have the right to build a new life.<\/p>\n \"It is impossible when a child or teenager has gone off the road to put them in prison. So that's the kind of place where you really give them a chance because you're going to train them and you're going to show them that you trust them. I'm sure it's the best solution. We absolutely have to encourage this kind of opportunity. I would like to thank Ms. Dominique Ouattara for everything she does for the children of C\u00f4te d'Ivoire,\" said Ms. Brigitte Macron.<\/p>\n \"I am very happy that Ms. Macron found time to visit the rehabilitation centre for minors in Bouake. I am happy that the children were able to talk with her a little,\" said Ms. Dominique Ouattara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mrs Brigitte Macron, First Lady of France visited the Bouak\u00e9 Rehabilitation Centre for Children on Sunday, December 22, 2019.
