Winter Time Fun- An update from the Romania Orphanage

February 15, 2012United Planet

One of our fabulous volunteers, Sarah was nice enough to share with us some recent photos from her quest to Romania to give us an update on how this amazing organization is doing. As you may have heard this past December a devastating fire occurred at this orphanage damaging several buildings, however, thankfully no one was hurt.

It has been a tough winter for this orphanage but thanks to our volunteers and all the support of donations, they have been bouncing back fast. It has been a cold winter for those in Europe, a bit colder than usual but that doesn’t stop these kids from having fun!

Check out the photos below for some winter fun!

Please consider making a donation of any size through our donation site set up specifically to raise money toward helping the orphanage.

Thank you for all your support, for your dedication to our programs, and for your well wishes!
