Humanitarian aid and projects to ease suffering in Romania. Small charity with a "hands on" approach. Most donations from Jersey Channel Islands.

HOW OUR YEAR USUALLY WORKS:
Throughout the year we send FUNDS. We offer a sponsorship programme to assist those in need of a helping hand. Sponsorship is either for
PENSIONERS - Adopt a Granny scheme for those unable to make meet on a very small pension - some may be medical pensioners rather than old age pensioners. EDUCATION - we believe a good education often offers the opportunity to break t

he poverty cycle. We help fund homework clubs as well as individual children’s educational needs. FAMILY - we believe in keeping families together whenever possible. The most rewarding reports we can receive will say something along the lines of
“X is so grateful for your help, but now his/her/their circumstances have changed and no longer need your help. Thank you for what you made possible”. Regrettably such reports are few and far between but they do sometimes happen! SENDING HUMANITARIAN AID
As a general rule we collect relief aid from January till September or October (each year may differ so you would need to check). We sort and prepare the aid for shipment to Romania 2 or 3 times a year. The present cost of sending each aid consignment is now under £5000 but over £4000. So donations for transport costs are always appreciated. As the exchange rate varies it is not possible to predict an exact amount. We focus on the CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX APPEAL from September / October till the end of the year.

We have just received these 2 videos from Ukraine. Watch the one with the crowd standing outside first. Exciting to know these were literally taken and sent just a few minutes ago! The videos are of the centre to which we send the goods from Jersey destined for Ukraine.

Thank you to those who braved the rain to donate clothing, bedding, footwear, funds towards transport costs. Because of the rain we were unable to pack as we usually do so we put the bags and boxes straight into the lorry and we will sort and pack at our depot.
It was our final collection of the year as we now stop packing general aid and focus on the Christmas shoeboxes.

We have heard from TUDOR in Ukraine. He sent these photographs showing the backpacks filled with educational supplies that were distributed to 110 refugee children and young people in Ukraine. He and the other volunteers are absolutely thrilled and want to say THANK YOU to all who donated and made this possible.
He said they had a special meeting for the children and young people at which they gave out the filled bags. I gather it was really a fun afternoon with Activities and food. He said they all left exhausted but very happy.
