Housebound across the world_how to still indulge (oneself)
<p><strong>The project in 2 words:</strong></p>
<p><strong>COVID-19</strong> is a <strong>global economics catastrophe</strong> with <strong>dramatic social</strong> <strong>repercussions</strong>. To contribute to the movements of generosity flourishing here and there on a global scale, we have thought over a <strong>project</strong> that would have a <strong>meaning, </strong>that would <strong>benefit the members</strong>, that would be <strong>useful to the contributors </strong>and that would <strong>help make things a bit better</strong>. </p>

<strong>Creators and origins of the project </strong></p>
<p>Audrey working in the digital world is 100% on home office. Lorraine in a restaurant, doesn't work for now. The starting point happened 6 weeks after confinement was decided for France (March 17, 2020). We realized we could <strong>be of some help </strong>and the idea was to do it on <strong>several levels </strong>and according to our means (both financial and budget-wise). We realized we were<strong> always eating the same kinds of food</strong> and we definitely couldn't say that we cooked nice meals. Like what happened on a Facebook group, the idea was to <strong>have people participate asking them to share their home-made meals</strong>. It's more engaging than taking a mere picture, but also way "richer" in the end. And it's also the opportunity of a <strong>culinary narrow escape</strong>.</p>
<p>The project needs more members so feel free to join! The more members we'll get, the more interactions and content, the more meaningful all this will become!</p>

<strong>The project in details</strong></p>
<p><strong>COVID-19</strong> is a <strong>global economics catastrophe</strong> with <strong>dramatic social</strong> <strong>repercussions</strong>. To contribute to the movements of generosity flourishing here and there on a global scale, we have thought over a <strong>project</strong> that would have a <strong>meaning, </strong>that would <strong>benefit the members</strong>, that would be <strong>useful to the contributors </strong>and that would <strong>help make things a bit better</strong>. </p>
<p>Hence we decided to create a <strong>Facebook group:</strong> "Food & Drinks (with love) from home".</p>
<p>The idea: <strong>bring people from all over the world together </strong>around one of the few <strong>pleasures</strong> left when you're stuck at home: food :)</p>
<p>With more than 600 members in a couple weeks, and several hundreds of pictures already, receipes, exchanges, this group is <strong>kind</strong>, provides good ideas on what to cook next, <strong>breaks the isolation</strong> of some persons, bring back <strong>self-confidence</strong>, <strong>restores the taste of cooking!</strong> After all, it's not because the restaurants are closed that we can't take pictures of what we eat and share our meals. </p>
<p>The aim is to make a "souvenir" book out of it in this "out of time period", with (notably): </p>
<p>- a documented intro with key figures</p>
<p>- photos, receipes and tips of the best 100 meals, drinks (we can cook for cheap with what's is at hands!)</p>
<p>- a global map with several hundreds of pictures </p>
<p>- quizzes and small games</p>
<p>- in annex, the best humor posts on COVID-19 </p>
<p>As regards the date, we plan to launch the book in September</p>
<p>Next steps: </p>
<p>- continue to grow our community</p>
<p>- write the book, shape it and have it printed</p>
<p>If we're soliciting your support today, it's to allow us to <strong>make sure there's a bigger interest</strong> for such a project (a cookbook "out of time" in a inclusive mode), get your comments and suggestions and an idea of the amount of your contributions. </p>

<strong>The compensations and the contributors' roles</strong></p>

<p>- paper > real book with or without personalized signing </p>
<p>And a priceless compensations: the happiness linked to giving! </p>
<p>We need your support to be able to create this book and give back 50% of the benefits to NGOs (selection to be defined with you and/or our Facebook group for final choice)</p>
