Haven in Romania – www.haveninromania.co.uk
Thank you to the very kind people who have been donating toiletries, healthcare items and clothing to the charity Haven in Romania. A team of us have just returned from Piatra Neamt and were there when the lorry arrived. It was so lovely to be able to see the clothes and healthcare items distributed at the ‘Dennis day care Centre’ for the elderly. We set up clothes rails and make a little ‘shop’ – all the ladies and gents love looking through the items and finding things that are just the right size. As the people went home we were able to give a little goodie bag of toiletries and a bag of sweets to each member and this means so much to them. At the ‘Sylvia day centre’ for children with special needs we hosted a meal for the mums and they too had a wonderful time looking through the fashions for the younger ladies. As to the future – we have a really big project coming up at the ‘Sylvia Day Centre’ for children as we hope to build a new teaching block on to the centre and are currently working with the local government in Piatra Neamt to apply for funding for this. At the ‘Dennis Day Centre’ we are hoping to increase the days we are open and also to provide more healthcare for the people who come along. Thank you once again for your kind donations, Jane Richardson
