We support orphans in one school in Slobozia (Romania), mainly providing educational materials. We send individual Christmas presents. We also support a smallholding, run by two ex-orphans, in the neighbouring village of Cosimbesti; this provides them with a living and is also used as an educational resource for the children in the school.
