They were happy to be drawn and painted ; it was important for them to be represented, to create a contact with the Parisian population and to be visible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/2″ css=\u00a0\u00bb.vc_custom_1506256938241{padding-top: px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]Some of them, like Salam or Nasredine, had just arrived. They slept outside and didn’t speak any French or English. They now take French lessons each evening in the street thanks to non-profit organizations working in the neighborhood.
\nOthers, like Abdou or Ibrahim, have been in France for one year. They\u2019re staying in a hotel or in a social center and they\u2019re learning French in schools.\u00bb[\/vc_column_text]
