"Now I'm 21 years old and currently living in England, but I remember it was a beautiful day in the summer of 2001, when together with my younger brother, Petru Sandu, we entered the gates of  Casa Ray. We did not know what to expect, but since the first day I felt a warm welcome. I was only 7 years old, but had lived so many stories before, that I feel I am grown-up and no longer a child. But here I learned to give during childhood and learned what play, work, school is, but what is most important, we learned to be honest, to love those who need love, to help those who need help ... and last , but not least, here I met the Father of orphans, who did not forget me wherever I may be. Not you either!

             As in any family, we had difficulties, sorrows, but always appeared people who cared about me and loved me. In closing I wish to thank all those who contributed to my growth, both those who I know and those who I do not know. I have a quote that always makes me remember fondly from the childhood spent at Casa Ray: "There's nothing more exciting than to go back to a place that remains unchanged, that you realize how much you've changed. "
