We are very pleased to announce the election of Sarah Latrous as a new member of the Foundation Board. Knowing her mother Lotti’s project from a young age, Sarah first made her way into the International Hospitality Industry, then in Marketing and Events for medical organizations and charities. Today she lives in London working as an Events Manager at the University of Chicago Booth.

Sarah regularly travels to Côte d'Ivoire and has always been close to Centres l'Espoir and all of its residents and staff - especially the children with whom she grew up and spent most of her summer school time. She will support the fate of the Foundation with all her heart and will be able to transmit the spirit of the Centres L’Espoir to all of us.

Lotti Latrous Foundation, November 2020

Lotti Latrous chose a remarkable way: She gave up her privileged life in order the help the poorest among the poor: The people in the slums of Adjouffou in the Ivory Coast.  She independently built a hospital, an ambulatory and an orphange. Thus she saved thousands of life.

She received several awards for her humanitary committment.

Please allow me, with some delay to wish you a Happy New Year; a year with good health, filled with light and good luck and all your undertakings ending up in success. I apologise that this Newsletter comes to you with delay. I had a very eventful time and didn’t get any time to write to you. First it was Christmas time, which this year I spent in Switzerland with my family and our young granddaughter Lea. Just before that my book “What was, What is, What counts”, which I wrote about my somehow irregular life, was published. My own book - how many times I doubted - if it will ever end up being a reality. In January I was on a reading tour with my publisher, which took us to eight Swiss cities. So it was like a round-tour through beautiful Switzerland. To be quite honest: at the beginning I didn’t want to participate, as I was scared of so much luxury - but looking back I must confess that I never met so many friendly, caring people and had an excellent time. This trip was for me like a convalesce and I could charge my battery to the limit. Someone once told me that: “Before you can rescue someone from drowning, you must be able to swim yourself”. So, you have to look after yourself.
