"Now I know why I lived in the abyss of suicide,
loneliness, shame and self-hatred for more than 55 years:
it's so I can help others find their way back into the light of love!
I believe that when everyone will live out their dream
we will no more live with poverty, starvation and wars;
we will all share in a world of peace, love and harmony.
This is my belief, and with each breath I take
it is the reason I live."
My message is simple:
Whatever your past or your circumstances
YOU CAN LIVE OUT YOUR DREAM LIFE

The Alzheimer Society of Montreal had the pleasure of having M. Guy Giard present a Laughter Yoga workshop. This was an event for caregivers, a luncheon to honor them and allow a time of laughter, sharing and respite. M. Giard was dynamic, enthusiastic, and instantly captured the attention of our group. Within moments, a group that did not previously have contact with one another were laughing, shaking hands, interacting and sharing with one another.

The international school La Vérendrye had the pleasure of welcoming the humanitarian lecturer Guy Giard for an activity on humanitarian actions for the fourth year grade classes. With humor, kindness and generosity, Mr. Giard captivated students' attention for more than an hour ... even forgetting their recess and their lunch break! Students participated extensively throughout the presentation by asking their own questions and sharing their comments and impressions.
We highly recommend Mr Giard for his humanism, his relevance and his warmth, in addition to messages of listening, love and dreams! In addition with his experiences with Dr. Patch Adams.
Thank you again for the beautiful gift you have given us!
