January 2024 – The children and their families had a good Christmas because Oana our social worker, got businesses to give food, clothing and toys to our children and those on the outskirts of town.
It was the first time that nine year old Bogdan had ever received a present. He came to the village with his family after several years of begging. He had never been to school. The family had heard that we help disadvantaged children and went to Oana to get him registered at school. When he received his Christmas present he didn't know how to react, but afterwards he was so happy! He's the little boy in blue in the Photo Gallery.
Madalin is also 9 and his greatest joy is receiving love, affection and attention, which he gets at our Centre. He has mental challenges and it's hard for him to write and make sentences but praise and encouragement fuel his ambition and he's making progress each day. He has no joy at home, so goes every day to Oana for hugs. The Centre is a place for him where problems don't exist, and where he is accepted, loved and understood.
Eight year old Ianis suffered a lot when his father left the family, and he was violent and sad. He used to hide and cry at anything but now he smiles and plays with the children. These years of love have changed Ianis' behaviour and his life. Now he's on the path of a proper childhood. Please look at the Photo Gallery to see the peace in his face, he's wearing the Batman pajamas. It makes our staff so happy when these children smile, children who have known hardship far too early. Ianis and his brother are 2 of our many children being healed.
