Day Centre in Bârlad (Romania)
Our parish aims to lend a helping hand to 31 children from a Day Centre in Bârlad, Romania. The day centre runs within the Social Centre “Sfântul Ierarh Iosif cel Milostiv” and it addresses children aged 5-14, coming from families in need, with single parents or living with their grandparents.
Within this centre, children receive 2 meals daily - after school, and before leaving the centre in the evening to return to their families. They also get help with homework and take part in educational activities.
How do we plan to help?
Basic Needs
We aim to help these children 3 times per year – for Easter, start of school, and Christmas – with goods for children or with funds for the centre, depending on their needs.
Consistency
For each child we are looking to find an “adoptive” family or a group of people who can provide long term support 3 times per year.
Happy Childhood
For Easter this year, the centre is planning to buy scooters and roller skates, estimated cost of £1240, equivalent of £40 per child. We hope to collect this amount by 23-Apr-2021.
