The story of 32 children

Below you will find more details about 32 children that are starving every day and live in extreme poverty with their families. In this article we would like to highlight their story and we hope that our actions will make a difference and bring some light in their gloomy lives.

Have you ever seen a child suffering from hunger? There are 32 children suffering from hunger day by day in Glodeanu village, Romania. Every day is a Big Challenge for parents to provide food for the family. If they are able to provide a slice of bread or ‘polenta’ (which is a dish made from boiled cornmeal) this is an extraordinary event, because many days pass without the hope of any meal. These children have hardly seen meat on their table or a hot meal.

Last year, a miracle happened when Marian Tudor, a an Orthodox priest, moved to their village. In his compassion and kindness, he has been trying to help them.

Last winter, Father Tudor, posted a humanitarian message and joined a forum on the Internet with the purpose of getting some clothes and food for the little souls from Glodeanu village. The story of these kids was heard by Maria Coman, a Romanian journalist. She made the story public and last Christmas more people joined in and brought some joy (food, clothes and some toys) to these children.

The priest wholeheartedly wishes to set up a soup kitchen in the village that would improve their lives. For this purpose, he has identify a building in the village which, whilst in poor conditions, (the old village hall), can be restored and turned into a soup kitchen. The priest has the mayor’s support. At this canteen they will be able to eat a hot meal every day, play with other children and do their homework. We believe that through this project their life will improve dramatically .

You can support these children the way you want. Every little help will be greatly appreciated!

You can donate some money (via PayPal), pass on their story to your friends by sending an e-mail to all your friends, relatives, work colleagues or post the link of this blog on Facebook or any other social networks to make their story known to other people.

Also, you can choose to give your long-term support to one child or one family. As if it were your little brother or sister born with fewer chances than you have. Some children are ill. Epilepsy and strabismus are a few of the illnesses that these children are suffering from and the parents can’t afford to buy the medication they need.

*If you decide to help a child, you will receive monthly pictures/news about them and the way you contributed. Maybe one day you will decide to meet them in person and we will facilitate this with enthusiasm.

In collaboration with Nicoleta Tintea and Father Tudor we have decided to reach out to these children and help them. Not only have they need for food and clothes, but also we want to identify some long term opportunities for their development.

If you want find out more details about them, please contact Angela Popescu angela.popescu32@gmail.com/ 07593582898 or Catalin Leonard Popa catalinleonard@gmail.com and we will be happy to get in contact with you.
