Ptits Coups de Main

About Us

P'tits Coups de Main is an association located in the Paris region, created to facilitate the charitable endeavours that we (it's members) find the opportunity to get involved in. We've been blessed with a very talented team with the desire & initiative to accomplish a wide range of projects. Shows & childrens entertainment, multi-natured humanitarian projects (such as the collection/distribution of food & essential comodities, educational material etc.), promotion & communication are examples of the responsabilities share by our members, who are all full-time volunteers.(Recent activities!)


Our Methods:

Creation & promotion of live shows.

Artistic entertainment for underprivileged situations (hospitals, refugee camps etc.)

The collection & distribution of food, essential comodities & educational &/or computer related material.

(ARTICLE 2 - Objectives, our Statutes)

Among our projects, one which we have become very attached to is our work with children in hospitals, striving to offer inspiration, if not a little distraction, in their hospitalised experience. (Check out some photos) With music & song, puppets, games, balloon-sculpting & face-painting, our teams give the young patients (& their parents too) moments of fun & laughter, which has proven conducive to the soothing of stress & pain, paving the long, hard road to recovery.

Our Motivation:

We believe that love & positive energy can be transmitted to give courage & the strength to persevere, even in the most difficult circumstances. We have faith that "all things are possible" & this spurs our motivation to bring either by our artistic means or humanitarian efforts, hope to those who find themselves facing hardship.Our Support:

Our Association and projects are supported through three main methods:

Donated items/material: When we start out on a project or cause we'll often solicit companies or individuals who are happy to be able to get involved & are in a position to contribute the material or whatever the success of the project demands. (Our sponsors) Additionally, in order for our members to do this work full-time, some of our supporters direct their donations to us personally. This has been essential to the functionality of the association.

Monetary donations: Occasionally we will receive monetary donations, usually for a specified need or project, other times just for the continued running of our work in general & expenses. However, the majority of our funding is raised by merging interests with companies who offer to sponsor us in exchange for the entertainments our members can provide--our balloon-sculping & face-painting for their parties or our band does gigs or evenings & soirées. Some have booked our Christmas show for their company's year-end party, etc.. (If you're interested in benefiting from this program, contact us.)

Our products: We have a range of inspirational, educational or artistic products, some of which are available here. These were either created entirely by, or with the participation of, our musicians & artists & reflect the energy we aim to promote while helping towards our support.
