A SCHOOL BECOMES A REFUGE
SWITZERLAND
In collaboration with the Association Jurassienne d’Accueil des Migrants, the Sisters of SaintPaul of Chartres who are present in Biel, La Chauxde-Fonds, Boncourt and Porrentruy, (AJAM) have agreed to transform their School for Girls in Porrentruy into a Refuge Center for unaccompanied young migrants aged 17 to 18. While the Sisters initially opened their doors to Ukrainian refugees, they recognized that these young refugees often had family connections or guardians to whom parental authority had been delegated, rendering a dedicated refuge more suitable.
