Educational Aid for school children in Burcalu, Moldova
Friday, January 30th, 2009
“A little boy received a Christmas Box containing a small toy car in a box - apparently he has not opened the little box it is so special and every day has been going around carrying it carefully everywhere with him - with everything packed neatly away as originally received - it is so precious to him”.
This was a recent report provided to us from one of the teachers who have visited children in Burcalu, Moldova.
Please support our That Pesky Rat Puppet Show campaign to assist us in raising much needed funds. You can see more details on on our previous diary update or by checking out our Fundraising and Volunteering page or check our our Kids Page category. If you would like more information about the project/s we are involved with the school, please contact us.
We will also be visiting Burcalu as part of our trip route during 2010 where we will be able to see progress for ourselves and hope to strengthen existing links further.
Proceeds from ticket sales will directly benefit Jessica and AJ’s school to continue supporting its project/s concerned with helping deprived children at a school based in Burcalu, Moldova where Educational Aid has been provided to the children there for the past 2 years and in a number of ways - ie by providing shoes, coats, paper, books, Christmas boxes (donated separately by children) and even money directly into teachers hands to simply feed the children. Teachers from our children’s school have personally given up their time and visited Burcalu to assist in strengthening the links and to provide guidance and input to the educational framework there. All aid is given directly rather than via 3rd party organisations. Reports back from the teachers and children in Burcalu regarding the direct and measurable aid provided, has been overwhelming and would bring a tear to your eye in terms of the gratitude, examples of the benefits achieved and the thanks returned. We would like to support this good work and ensure that our children’s school are able to continue providing Educational Aid to Burcalu in the foreseeable future.
We should add that, as per Romania, many of the children in Moldova have no parents due to their mothers and fathers having left the country to go and find work elsewhere, usually in Europe. However, many parents never return and neighbours help disappears when promised money stops or a grandparent dies or is unable to cope. Some parents who leave Moldova - in some cases under false pretences or who are otherwise lured - are young and naive themselves, often becoming victims of undesirable practices and careers.
Some children continue to live in their parentless homes from very young ages tending the land and farm, abandoned, without any real child-hood and performing what would be usually be adult tasks. Moldova is hard to get to - border controls are often difficult to pass through with aid and there are no real roads. We are told that the mafia also operates in the area there.
Please support us - no matter how small - every little helps! And thank you for reading this post!
