It Is Fall In Bucharest
Dear Friends of Mia’s Children,
We Praise the Lord for the many blessings he is pouring over us, no matter how the times are. After a long summer with very high temperatures and no rain when we served every day our children with no warm water, no air conditioning and washing machine we feel so blessed that with your help we can have finally hot water and the wonderful washing machine. Even so, the summer was a special time for our mission when the kids could spend a fruitful time in the Lord in Joy, Love and Peace learning more about God’s protection about His Creation about how no matter the circumstances the life brought us we can stand on His promises, never forgetting His care for us.
Most of the summer the kids spent actively of the new house/home were we had a small swimming pool. The time was easier for the children in the heat that was over 100 degree’s. It was not only fun, it was a time of work and learn when they could understand and apply many knowledge in scriptures in science, also involving the duties inside the house and the garden the children took pleasure in learning from seed to produce. Many times after hard work finally they could taste the fruits of their labor. This gave them the sense of finality of the hard work and made them proud and their reward.
When they could see so many changes and interaction what God is giving to you and the part you bring to this process they could understand better that it is very important to be yourself in a serious way and to be part of God’s creation not to be lazy and to wait to receive and to give of yourself from the teaching’s in Proverbs.
It was a great challenge for the kids and for us but we could see again that with God’s help all Things are possible. In this way after months of prayer we could have again a summer camp.
This time a Romanian girl, Miriam, from Switzerland applied from her school a humanitarian project
involving Mia’s Children Romania. Her project was very much supported by teachers and school with the program she did she showe our pictures, sewings, paintings and special meeting for us. She could gather most of the money for the Summer Camp. Her mother is a good friend of Mrs. Grumbach and Mr. Grumbach brought his help to meet our needs and to have a blessed time. We also received help from my nephew, Robert, who is very touched by the work we do for the children. You can imagine that it was a time of fun, recreation, creation a time you could socialize with the children of the village and witness to the children from another foundation.
In the last night we had a Christian program and we welcomed other’s to participate and we presented to everyone songs, dances, poems, and skits written by the children about everyday life.
We also Praised God for the school supplies that was provided by you who allowed us to send all the kids to school in good condition. Nicoletta started High school, and Claudia her first year in University. Dana’s Foundation Skills for Children continues to help and to sponsor seven of our teenagers as well as Olivia Casscadden. Two of these children Marian and Mihaela are still in Cyprus.
Bigo broke his arm and had to come back and also GiGi came back because the owner did not respect the agreement of pay.
God put in our hearts to start the Kindergarten program because eight of our children are of the age we need heat and we can’t afford to pay for them to go to kindergarten. There are many needs but looking at the development of their personalities and the necessity to face primary school, after a time of prayer we assumed the responsbility to start this program no matter the difficulty in our time and our efforts are producing a learning environment that is stimulating their imaginations and skills. We are sure you will join us to increase the visibility and the goals of running this program. We also need lot of help and volunteers, any one is welcome to come join us.
Dana together wonderful people from the Rotary Club from United States sent money to buy and install a heater for the house. Right now for 5 days we have hot water.
We want to thank you each and everyone of you, to Cambria Church for the money for food and to all of our faithful friends and sponsors, to each church and group who sustains us in prayers and help.
Without your help we could never do what we are doing.
We ask you to keep us in prayer, our prayer requests are:
