Here's a quick update from Linda Barnes of RAKE on the House of Roses in Birlad.
"There isn’t a lot to report from Birlad
but things are going well. The “kids” have just got back from 2 weeks in camp.
Myosotis runs a camp each year for children from their day centre and also poor
families. So our young people have joined them partly as helpers, partly to
just have fun. Thankfully last we heard the boys were behaving well and being
kept busy collecting water, emptying the toilets etc!
The extension is well under way. The
boys were issued with caps and gloves the same as the builders and were given
some jobs to do which was good. We were a bit surprised by one photo we
received to see that the house appears to have been built of some kind of mud
and straw, rather than bricks. But never mind, it seems pretty solid! I am
going out in September and hope there will be some wonderful home grown
tomatoes – they always taste so good in Romania! Mike has bought the tool box
etc with the funds from HAH and we will take it over to Myosotis next week as
we are having a meeting together. They take a minibus out to Birlad early next
month."
