Donna Shelton, former Road Scholar participant on a United Planet program and one of the directors of the American Friends of Pro Vita Foundation, has recently shared with us some phenomenal news! A new Elder House has been completed in the Romanian community of Pro Vita. Donna sent us this lovely message:
“The Pro Vita Elder House is finally finished and occupied as of last week. Mihail has sent some pictures taken before occupancy…. It looks like a modern, lovely home for Pro Vita’s elderly residents and a huge improvement over their previous abode. Thank you all so much for making this great achievement possible. We are in the process of developing our plan to extend the reach of the [American Friends of Pro Vita] Foundation and hopefully support the priority building activities of Pro Vita on a steady state basis.”
Pro Vita, located in Valea Screzii, is a community in Romania that welcomes orphans, families in difficult situations, abused mothers, adults who grew up in state institutions, and pregnant women who have nowhere else to go. The new Elder House will surely be a welcome addition to the infrastructure of the community.
