NEWS FROM MIA – SEPT ’08
Dear Friends ,
Last weeks we had so much going on. It’s a blessing that our activity goes so intense, but this doesn’t give us too much free time to write you. We realize that to have a good communication it’s very important, but we are so limited and so few.
Let me tell you that the camp was a very special time for all the kids. We worked hard to cook, as we didn’t have a cook, but Gigi and Gelu helped us to cook. Peter gave a hand of help, too. In this way, he confess that he’d like to be a cook, too. We made a report about the camp, with pictures, paintings, literature report and financial report to the Princess Margareta’s Foundation and we gave them right today all the official papers to evaluate how we worked with the donation we received from them.
Then, we had to be ready for the new school year. We had to take most of the kids for first grade to the doctor and the kids for kindergarten. We made tests,special tests who are require according with the rules for kindergarten. The same foundation will sponsor the costs of education for 5 from our children: Bebe, Mathew, Adrian, Andrei and Michael Patrick. Isn’t this wonderful? They will receive education in a private kindergarten, just made in the same school where the kids from training school go, UCECOM. The bad part it’s that Costel has to drive more everyday. We cannot transport all 13 children once and I also have to be with him when he takes the little one to their school. They love to go to the school and seems to feel very well. It’s a new step for them and for us, too.
Gabriela and Mihaela started the first grade. They look to be the smallest from all, but they are so happy and love so much to go to school.
The bad part of all it’s that all the prices are going up so fast and so much. Some of the kids don’t have shoes. The cool time came too soon. Most of the school supplies we took with the help from Miriam, a Romanian girl who live in Swiss with her family, friends with Mr and Mrs Grumbach. Adriana gave us some school supplieses, too. We need to buy, right now many books for all the kids, for the little one for learning and practizing to write and read. Each school, each teacher has the right to pick up the books they want, that’s why we cannot use the same book more years for students. But,ING, a company for life insurence will also help us to get what’s necessary. In this way, all our students will have all what they need!
Soon, we’ll try to send you pictures from the first school days.
Bogdan will start the university, together the work he does. Marinela started her after high school training. For her studies is paying the same foundation. Also for Tabita and Daniela. And, of course for Peter. He loves to study to be a cook. Isn’t this so special?
Well, we try to manage everything as we can. It’s difficult and the money are day by day less, just because all the things go so high over the night.
Nicoleta will have the surgery next Wensday, so we need for her support and prayers.
Blessings,
Mia and all
