Event in April 2018

          Because the feast of death and the resurrection of Christ was the central subject of April, we want to salute you wholeheartedly with "Christ resurrected!” We strongly believe that this greeting is valid any day of the year.

          On this occasion the children prepared a poem that they presented at the Betel Church and the Philadelphia Church. Through their singing they have brought much joy and revival to many souls! (1)

          The crafts of this period, like nature, was marked by the coming of spring. Here's what the children have done. (2,3)

          Certainly this year of Easter, the children were traditionally feasting Romanian food! They did not lack on their table cakes, pasta, bohemian salad, dyed eggs, stuffed eggs, minced meat croquette, schnitzels, meat balls rolled in cabbage leaves etc. We do not mention that, not to make you hungry, but some photos, we'll show you :) (4-7)

Event in March 2018

          Spring has come!!! Flowers, pastoral bunnies, "colorful" eggs, we all have, just like ... the unique ... snowy models ;) (1-5)

          Even though children could not spend more time outside in March, as they hoped to do with the spring, they found plenty of fun at home. Especially making small ornaments. Satisfied, they offered their colleagues and teachers a small gift, created by their hands. (6-9)

          Unfortunately, the cold temperatures of this winter have cracked a pipe that we did not expect to get frozen. That's why we had a small flood and some repairs were needed. This time also the smoke detection system warned us that something is wrong and so we discovered the flood.(10,11)

          If the weather does not keep its course strictly ... we can also say that the "Thanksgiving" turkey is ready to be sacrificed and fattened; the turkey was a copious meal for children! (12) Also in March we were blessed with a “new” calf. (13)

Event in February 2018

          The last winter month, February, brought with it another wave of snow long awaited by children. On this occasion, the boys have shown their skill and demonstrated to everyone that they are capable of great things! They built their own house! :) Even though this house has a "short shelf", yet it was their home and just their own, they felt the taste of the property. (1)

          Ionut was the only celebration of February (17 years old), and he was also the "wounded" of the month. In a volleyball game he was injured quite badly at his foot... now he recovers and goes to healing. (2,3,4)

          Starting next year, Ionut will not be the only one celebrated in February, because on the 16th of the month a little miracle appeared in our family: Eva Natalia! Eva is the third child of the Gavril Ovidiu and Delia family. We wish all kinds of joy with their treasures! (5,6)

Event in January 2018

          Even though in December we could not really enjoy the winter because of the lack of snow, in January we had everything that the children could have liked: snow, gifts and vacation!

          Even if they played in the snow, building houses, the children also cleaned up the yard full of snow, they did this job with joy, like a play. We had a few cold days when the wagon and horse were among the only “means of transport” that did not disappoint us. They went over the “mountain” of snow and did not get stuck. (1-4)

          In January, because we are not so busy as December, we managed to go out with the children to the skating rink in Piatra Neamt. We went with them twice. It was an indescribable joy for them, for some this was the first time they experienced skating. They had a nice time together when the "most experienced" taught the little ones to skate, they have competed with each other, they improve their course, or ... they just learned to skate. However, all were left with nice memories! (5-12)

Event in December 2017

          Dear ones,

       With the passing of December, the year 2017 has also passed. It was a blessed year and it has been deprived of unpleasant events, with the exception of Vlad`s loss and also loss of part of the financial support. We know that God is in control of all things and we want to thank Him for this!

       December was, as usual, a month loaded with work and events, but all was done

with joy in the hearts, so it was a nice time. We think the images can describe better

than the words the December's atmosphere so we want you to enjoy with us some pictures:

- decorating the rooms and the house, (1,2)

- purchasing a new generator for electricity, (3)

Event in October and November 2017

          The autumn with its rich fruits came to us! We almost managed to fill the cellar and pantry with food and grain for the winter. We thank God that this year also gave rain in the right time, and we also want to thank the communities of Ciohorani, Oboroceni, Helesteni, Urecheni and Suceava, who also donated part of their crops to the children in Casa Ray. God should reward all tenfold, at least! (1-9)

          At the same time with the arrival of October came the specific activities of this season. Especially activities that relate to beautifully colored leaves: sweeping the alleys full of leaves, photographing the leaves, filling the bags with leaves, which we used as an animal bed, playing with the leaves etc. (10-14)

          Besides these, sculpting in pumpkins (15), reconditioning rusted fences (16), correcting behavior by repeating in writing things that should not be done, such as "I'm not allowed to give nicknames to children!” (17), dish washing (18), homework (19), practicing English language (20) and so on.

Event in August and September 2017

          Bustled by the turmoil of daily activities, time has gone unimaginably and with rapid steps we have stepped from summer to autumn. The holiday is over and the school has begun, the intense green of the trees has left the warm autumn colors and so we are passing the years and we are flying.

          The passage of time has set footprint in these two months also over two brothers, Florin and Vasile, who turned 15 and 12 years respectively, and over two sisters, Dumitrita and Gabriela, who turned 13 and 10 years respectively. The kids enjoyed each other together, played "Happy Birthday," they made wished, they blew candles, took pictures, they laughed in a word, they felt good on the occasion of each anniversary. (1-8)

Event in July 2017

          "Looking back, we can say that we had an excellent month, even if there are some big problems that we are facing, we will bring them to your attention another time. We now want to enjoy these beautiful memories together. "

          This is the phrase with which we closed the June report. We did not know that the big problems we were facing would be overcome by other bigger problems in such a short time.

          We were going to let you know that the thermal installation is a big problem (pic.1-4), and the windows are also really affected by the passage of time (pic.5, 6), but as we already have informed you, the withdrawal of 44% financial support is a problem that gives us even more headaches. However, we are confident that God will find the best solutions for us and as He has demonstrated to us over time, He is the orphan's defender and will not abandon us even now. He will certainly find suitable people with whom we can continue to work for the good of these children we care for.

Event in July 2017

          The beginning of June had an expected event for children all year round: the end of the school!!! With the help of God, all our children have graduated this school year, some with good results and others have hardly gone "the finish line.” We are, however, glad that everyone has graduated! Also on June 1 we celebrated the day of the child in Romania. We marked this day with a barbecue and ... play! (1-4)

          Doinita and Florin are teenagers who have gone to another level. They graduated from the eighth grade and have now been admitted to high school. Up to this point, they had extra work for the capacity exam and had the festivity, which marked the completion of the gymnasium school. We are glad for them two to have been able to enter high school and wish them success. (5,6)

          After a break of one and a half year we managed to go back to McDonald's with the kids. They honored the invitation to the Pentecostal church of Margineni and were rewarded by a member of that church with a visit to their favorite restaurant. On this occasion, we also celebrated the birthday of Constantin Butoi, who was 15 years old. (7-12)

Events in May 2017

 
          The beautiful month of May has gone unmerited ... and yet, when we look back, we see that many events have happened ... and so we realize how fast life passes!
 
          Anniversaries, Anniversaries, Anniversaries! We start with what's prettier and sweet :) Four anniversaries of four special children: On May 4th we had a double anniversary, Mihaela turned 22 years old and Antonio 16 years old. Not at a long distance, on May 6th, Costi turned 16 years old and after only 4 days, on May 10th, Elena turned 12 years old. Beautiful and unique children, each in his own way. (1,2,3,4)
 
          Mihaela Anton will be mentioned once again in this report and to our joy with another positive thing ... in fact, very positive! With the help of the Lord, Mihaela had the graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Letters. Yeah, it's been three years since she started high school and we're proud of her success! We pray that God will continue to guide her. (5)
