Dear friends,

it has been 40 years since Life Ascending was born in Mauritius. From the beginning each member in his own way has contributed to the development of our movement. We have lived through periods "not easy" and "banne bons moments" (very good moments).

For all this we give thanks to the Lord because every event was given to us, and we lived it together. Every moment we lived together helped shape us and with it form the movement that became a family for many of us. A place to live our spirituality, our apostolate and our friendship.

Today as at the beginning these three pillars carry together Life Ascending and are our motivation to walk forward, to push out to sea, in the same direction, the youngest and the oldest and to make our movement stronger and stronger than ever. Life Ascending Mauritius is a "best ager"; Let's work to keep it young and dynamic for years to come.

Happy birthday to Life Ascending!
