You may remember that last Autumn one of our volunteers, Stephanie, accompanied me on a visit to our projects in Romania. When she returned she made an Appeal for extra funds, and so far has raised almost £800. We have already spent £200 helping Vis de Copil buy play equipment for their Mother and Toddler group. But we also made £400 available for Speranta Colonie, to set up a fund to give practical help to elderly people in the Colony. Adina, the Centre Manager, together
... with her excellent volunteers, have used this money to support 5 elderly people. They have repaired a chimney, re-connected an electricity supply, fixed a broken water pipe, provided gas cylinders for cooking, repaired a gate, and provided firewood and vitamin pills for all. An excellent example of direct action having a really big impact on vulnerable and poor people’s lives.
