When Hope and Homes for Children took on the major overhaul of the child protection system in Romania, I knew that this was no easy task. It is a huge undertaking, an exhausting one and oftentimes unimaginable, but it is always a crucial one.
The institutions closed during all these years, the small group homes opened, and the children who returned to their families, as well as the legislative changes and the training of the staff working in the state system, are big achievements that we have managed to accomplish together. They add to the thousands of children we helped stay with their families,
to the young people whom we’ve helped to begin independent lives and to the families we’ve helped lead a more decent living.
We will continue to offer hope, dignity and the love of a family to children in need and to those caring for them.
I am proud to say that I have been a part of this
amazing team for the past 18 years and I thank
them for the small and great miracles they do
every day. I have the outmost respect for the
results of their work.

We are getting close to our 18th anniversary of working with children without a childhood in Romania. It is time to look back with a smile, to celebrate with those we have saved from institutions and to give hope to those whom we want to save from being institutionalised. We are determined, by 2022, to proudly announce that we no longer
have children in orphanages, nor will we ever have. Because we know
that the best place for any child to be in is a family.
Our vision:
A world in which children
no longer suffer institutional care
* We focus on closing all old-type institutions in Romania, because we believe that they destroy childhoods. Our programmes aim to replace the institutional child protection system with a family-based one. We believe that attachment, individual attention, love and care are essential for every child.
To be the catalyst for the global eradication
of institutional care for children*
Our mission:
There will always be potholes on Romanian roads. In Romania, motorways only have a beginning, but no end – they are never finished. In Romania, people steal. In Romania, we don’t know how to take care of orphans. .
We ‘grew up’ with these scenarios. We didn’t just hear them, we have experienced them every day. However, in the same Romania, I have come to know people who have been overturning these
scenarios, steadily and determinedly, and who have created a happy end for situations that had dramatic beginnings. For the past 5 years, working with Hope
and Homes for Children, I have gained the
confidence that here, in Romania, we know
how to take care of abandoned children. I am
also confident that we can find a home and
a family for Olga, Ana, Andrei, and for every
institutionalised child. It is a happy end to be
fulfilled no later than 2022.
Amalia EnacheHope and Homes for Children Ambassador
For me, to be part of the Hope and Homes for Children team is something normal, which gained new significance about a year ago, when I became a father. It was one of the most wonderful moments in my life. During the following days (and nights) I realised how complex, complicated and overwhelmingly beautiful it is to raise a child.
This is what Hope and Homes for Children
does every day and every night, being there
for the children who cannot enjoy the warmth
and love of a family. It is a colossal mission
and, as I advance in my mission as a parent, I
begin to realize just how big it is. I think I have
come to understand Hope and Homes for
Children better than ever and I support them
with all my heart.

Our objectives:
To close down all old-type institutions and eradicate child institutionalisation in Romania by 2022.
To catalyse the reform of the child protection system in Romania by 2022 by boosting the closure of institutions, by developing the capacity of the professionals working in the system and by influencing the development of social policies and legislation. To increase the number of professionals responsible for wellbeing and protection of children in order to prevent the children’s separation from their families and to provide them with quality care. To influence government and local policies to ensure that all children have the possibility to grow up in a family environment. To create strategic alliances with other organisations to ensure that the eradication of institutional care becomes a priority.
To develop the network of child protection professionals by improving their competencies and knowledge. To raise the public awareness regarding the difficult situation of children, families and communities who suffer because of an outdated child protection system.

Closing Down Old-Type Institutions
In Romania, 18 years ago, there were about 100,000 children in old-type institutions, also known as ‘orphanages’. In 2015, as a result of the programmes of Hope and Homes for Children and its partners, there were 8,000 children left in institutions in Romania.
Growing up in an orphanage leads to the marginalisation of children, to their isolation, by depriving them of affection and socialisation. The lack of love and attachment specific to a family and the lack of stimulation and individual attention that every child needs have devastating effects. Therefore, the alternative is to close down orphanages and to find the best solutions for children, appropriate to their respective situations: reintegrating them into their birth or extended families, when and if this is possible, adoption, placing them with foster carers or moving them into small group homes.
Through the programme of reintegrating children with their birth or extended families, they return into their families supported by a set of specific care measures. To date, we have reintegrated 714 children with their families.
The small group home provides children and young people with an environment as close as possible to a family one. These homes accommodate 10-12 children who receive care, education, emotional support and counselling in order to develop their independent living skills and to prepare them for family reintegration or for social and professional reintegration. The homes are located on a regular street in the community, they have their own yard and they are always integrated in the community. The children are involved in household activities, exactly like in a family, they have friends and they go to school together. To date, we have opened 99 small group homes all over the country.
Hope and Homes for Children’s mission is to close down all old-type institutions in Romania by 2022.
At the beginning of October 2015, the “Elena Doamna” Placement Centre was closed by the County Authority for Social Work and Child Protection (CPD) Botoșani, with the support of Hope and Homes for Children, and the children and young people there have begun a new life.
The process of closing down this orphanage began in May 2014, when there were 35 children and young people in the institution. Following the social and psychological assessments, 6 young people aged 18 and over received counselling in order to find a job and to begin independent lives. One of the children in the institution was reintegrated into their birth family and another one was placed into a small group home, to be
closer to their parents and to be eventually reintegrated into their family. The other 27 children and young people were moved into 5 family-type apartments in Dorohoi. All the children and young people received specialised counselling and support to transition from the institutional environment to a family one. Hope and Homes for Children was also involved in training the staff who will take care of the children in the family-type apartments and especially in supporting the families who live in severe poverty, in order to prevent child abandonment. The support was provided in partnership with the local and county authorities, making use of resources both at community level and provided by Hope and Homes for Children.

Closing Down Old-Type Institutions
Olga came to register for the foster care course organised by Hope and Homes for Children. The first thought that came to Claudia’s mind, the trainer whom Olga spoke to, was to tell her “My dear, being a foster carer is something very special. I think it would be wise to wait a bit longer for it”, because Olga was very young.
However, Claudia didn’t give in to her first impulse. She took a sip of coffee instead and asked Olga: “Why do you want to become a foster carer?” And Olga looked into her eyes and began to tell her about her life. All of a sudden she didn’t seem that young anymore. They realised they had known each other for 15 years, they might have even played together when Olga was a child in the institution and Claudia was a new employee with Hope and Homes for Children.
Olga was abandoned at birth. She spent 7 weeks in the pediatric ward, then she was transferred to the “Leagăn” Institution in Sighetu Marmației. Olga has a few memories from when she was in “Leagăn”:
scenes that took place at night, the milk bottle she received, which she held on to all night, but especially the crying of a baby younger than she was. Ironically, crying in an orphanage is an exception. Abandoned babies learn quickly that no one comes when they need it, they lose confidence and their lives sink into silence. The long-term effects are devastating.
Olga remembers how she would
crawl over several cots to reach the
crying baby and then she would
sleep next to him.
She has a single picture left from “Leagăn”. It is torn. She recently took it to a photo store to have it redone. The adult Olga can easily be recognized in that picture.
When she was about 3-4 years old, Olga was moved to the “Preșcolari”, another orphanage in Baia Mare. Here the memories change: more children, adults who were yelling, feeling fear hiding under the bed or behind the closet, days of hunger and sleepless nights. Olga has a picture from this stage of her life also. She is in an uncomfortable position and her facial expression is that of a child caught running.
At the age of 6, Olga once again packed up her life. It was just a small bundle, including the two photos, a significant load of mistrust and doubt, an equal amount of need for protection and love, a few visible
Closing Down Old-Type Institutions
wounds to the head—she had been struck because she wouldn’t behave during bath time—and some invisible wounds in her heart. This time she didn’t carry her luggage, a foster carer did it for her. For a while, Olga called her “ma’am”. Later, after having slept in her arms for many nights and having searched through all the cupboards and drawers in the house, after dirtying everything, breaking a few things and being fussy about her food, she ended up calling her “mother”. And so it has been for the past 15 years.
Olga has a full life, which includes a lot of the day-to-day normal things one would expect from a young person. Her mother is now much older, Olga is an adult and she wants to raise a child who is not lucky enough to have a family. If you ask her about the photos, she tells you with a big smile that now she has many, probably too many, and that they’re all printed on paper, because she needs to be able to feel them.
Olga’s Story
Preventing the Separation of Children
from their Families
51% of the children in Romania live in extreme poverty.
One of the results of poverty is the abandonment of children in institutions, and, for children who end up in orphanages, the consequences are isolation – by depriving them of affection and socialisation, by marginalising them, and destroying their futures by making it impossible for them to cope with typical human interaction. For these reasons, keeping the family intact, ensuring that children stay with their parents, remains a priority when it comes to the best interest of the child.
Hope and Homes for Children intervenes where necessary to keep children with their families, using a set of measures focused on the individual needs of the family.
Based on certain criteria and indicators, a team of specialists decides on supporting the family and the types of interventions (counselling, material support, etc.) needed to prevent the separation of children from their families.
Preventing the Separation of Children
from their Families
The Bordei family includes Anișoara, the mother, and her seven children, Diana, Viorel, Liviu, Sorin, Mădălina, Adrian and Alina, aged between 10 and 23.
After a horrible life alongside an
abusive husband, the mother saved
her children by running away with
them, taking only the clothes they
had on.
Nothing discouraged her, not even the first nights in Bucharest, which they spent in a shed, nor the hardships they had to face. With tenacity and optimism, Anișoara managed to quickly find a steady job and rented a two-room apartment, with used and uncomfortable foldout beds, but which she kept very clean. Although Anișoara had had a steady job for more than 8 years, the family was having a very hard time. However, she managed to have her children study piano and cello, foreign languages, tennis or dancing. While also studying to attend university, the older children worked in order to help their mother and siblings.
Anișoara’s dream was to save enough money for the down payment on a house that would be theirs alone. She would rather pay the money that went on the rent to a credit, so that her children could be safe, with a roof over their heads, should anything bad happen to her, especially since they didn’t have anyone else to help them. This was their situation when Hope and Homes for Children found out about them, and the organisation has since gone to great lengths to find a solution so that the children and their mother could stay together and have a better life.
The first helping hand came from 10 young people united by the same dream: to exceed their limits in order to change destinies. The initiative was called “Kilimanjaro for Hope” and was launched by Radu Negulescu. In February 2015, the 10 young people climbed the Uhuru Peak of Kilimanjaro (5,895 m), in order to raise 25,000 Euros and provide this family with a chance to a better life. (See pages 36-37 for more on the “Kilimanjaro for Hope” expedition.)
The 25,000 Euros raised by Radu and his team represented a part of the necessary money for purchasing an apartment. Hope and Homes for Children supplemented the amount and the Bordei family was going to return the money, over time. A three-bedroom apartment was chosen as the future home for the family, but it still needed renovation and furniture.
Preventing the Separation of Children
from their Families
Their dream was going to be fulfilled by the PRO TV team and their show, “Extreme Makeover – Home Edition”.
„When they step into their home, we would
like it to be exactly as they’ve dreamt it,
maybe even more than that. We would
like it to be the complete opposite of what
they have now: a mix of used furniture that
they have received for free from several
neighbours, tables and chairs that are
almost crumbling and each bed is shared
by four children.”
Ileana Cirț, Social worker, Hope and Homes for Children
The team of “Extreme Makeover – Home Edition” was delighted to meet the 8 members of the Bordei family and transform their wishes into reality. Everyone enjoyed the filming process and there were many surprises and unforgettable moments. They played tennis with Simona Halep, they had their first holiday together in the mountains and they impressed everyone with their strong bond. Though the lives of Anișoara and her 7 children changed for the better, they remain a truly united and happy family, in their new home.
The Home of Bordei Family
Social and Professional
Integration of Young People
Leaving the Child
Protection System
At the age of 18 or when they complete their studies, the young people in care have to leave the orphanages without having been prepared for independent life. In fact, the staff members who interact with them are rarely trained to prepare them for this stage in their lives.
A social system that marginalises them through institutionalisation continues to marginalise them through lack of support programmes or strategies that would help them to confidently begin their independent lives.
Many times, young adults who were institutionalised lack the basic skills related to personal care
and hygiene and, when they exit the system, the lack of a home, of financial resources and of vocational guidance makes them feel alone, isolated in a foreign world.
The social and professional insertion of these young people, with the support of Hope and Homes for Children, means improving their skills for independent living (through counselling and material support), creating the conditions for their integration on the labour market (through counselling, mediation, recommendations), and, with the involvement of the local authorities, providing them with a home.
Until now, we have supported the social integration of 774 young people.
Răzvan’s story is an impressive one. It is about a survivor of the state “protection” system, someone who gives back to the community of origin, in spite of it having abandoned him.
Răzvan is 27 years old. He has spent all of his life in state care. He was abandoned at birth because his family was very poor and the history repeated for his sister, two years later. Together, they grew up in the “Leagăn” Institution in Sighetu Marmației, after which they were transferred to “Preșcolari”. Later on, the two siblings were separated and Răzvan ended up at the orphanage in Bocicoi and in other three institutions for children after that.
Răzvan says that the experience in the state system was extremely abusive, which drove him as far as attempting suicide. He is surprised he survived so many types of abuse and the absence of people with whom he could have created an emotional bond. Although he saw his parents and sister again, as an adult, the emotional connection was no longer there.
Since 2009, Răzvan has been working as a substitute teacher at a school attended by a large Roma community. Răzvan is a role model for the 300 children in that school, as well as a guide for validating their own ethnicity: he teaches Romani language and he is also a school mediator.
In spite of his contribution to the school and the community at large, Răzvan could not become a permanent teacher, which reduced his income and provided no stability.
Social and Professional Integration of Young
People Leaving the Child Protection System
Every year, he had to take an exam in order to be assigned the job and, during school holidays, unlike the other permanent teachers, he received no salary.
During the school year, he lived with one of the Roma families near the school and his expenses exceeded his income. He thought it wasn’t appropriate for him to buy food only for himself and not offer any to the children in that family. In spite of his financial difficulties, he continued to study and he graduated
The Survivor
from the Faculty of Letters, the Social Work Department.
Having to face all of these challenges, Răzvan decided to ask for our help.
Following the assessment, Răzvan received the support he so desperately needed: help to rent an apartment, money for food, a few items of furniture and some household appliances, clothes and support to pay his commute to and from work.
He also received encouragement and advice regarding independent life, study materials for university and, perhaps most importantly of all, the feeling of belonging to a family that he can count on.
The Reform of the Child
Protection System
Until now, we have trained 7,164 staff members from the child protection system in Romania and in 10 other countries in Europe, Africa and Latin America.
We contribute to reforming the child protection system by creating strategic partnerships with the Romanian Government, the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Protection and the Elderly, and UNICEF, as well as through collaborations with County Child Protection Departments. In 2015, we worked together with 18 CPDs, supporting them in their effort to reform the child protection system at the county level.
The main organisational objective is to catalyse the reform of the child protection system in Romania by closing down all remaining institutions and eradicating the institutionalisation of children in Romania by 2022, by developing the capacity of the professionals working in the system and by influencing the development of social policies and legislation.
Hope and Homes for Children is an organisation specialised in training both direct care professionals working in institutions and managers of county child protection services. In our 18 years
of activity, we have developed our own educational curricula and a training centre in Baia Mare. All of our training programmes are based on caring for the individual needs of the children.
The training courses are: 1) initiation/induction for the staff working in institutions and who are preparing to transition into family-type alternative services; 2) continuous training offered, on a regular basis, to staff and specialists working in the child protection services; 3) national and international technical assistance through which we provide consultancy to authorities in Romania and in other countries and for whom we develop programmes adapted to their specific needs.
We have offered technical assistance for public services specialized in child protection in Bosnia, Belarus, Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, Kosovo, Albania, Rwanda, Sudan, Azerbaijan and Georgia, as well as in Latin America (Argentina, Uruguay and Mexico).
What does it mean to be a trainer at Hope and Homes for Children?
I like to believe it is a happy and harmonious blend of several roles
held within the organisation.
I say blend because of the knowledge that the Hope and Homes for Children trainer assimilates, at first, from areas such as social work, psychology and pedagogy, and then later on they associate them with a vast and direct experience with children and their carers from different institutions, centres or small group homes. In order to balance all of these and to create harmony, the trainers then add a series of skills related to communication, relaying information, empathising and expressing what they want to teach those around them.

Opening of the Social Centre for Hygiene
The Social Centre for Hygiene is an innovative service opened by Hope and Homes for Children and the County Social Services within the Baia Sprie Town Hall in order to improve the quality of life for the children coming from poor families in that community.
The project began in 2014, when, following a meeting between Hope and Homes for Children and representatives from the Baia Sprie Town Hall (Maramureș County), it came up that a large number of families with many children have no access to hot running water and are unable to regularly wash their clothes, which would put them in difficult, embarrassing social situations. These children didn’t know what it meant to brush their teeth, take a shower or put on clean clothes in the morning, their lack of cleanliness making their peers reject them, and even leading to health issues.
Once the Social Centre for Hygiene was opened, low-income families with many children, who don’t have the possibility to ensure their proper hygiene and cleanliness at home, could benefit from the services of the Centre.
The Centre has 10 shower cabins, 4 washing machines, 2 clothes driers, toilets and closets for personal items. The beneficiaries also have free access to hygiene products.

”Kilimanjaro for Hope”
“Kilimanjaro for Hope” is the initiative of 10 people united by the same dream: to exceed their limits by climbing Kilimanjaro (5,895 m), the highest mountain in Africa, in order to raise 25,000 Euros and give a family the chance to a new life.
Team Hope X-Challenge, consisting of Adina Tămaș, Gabriel Murczko, Ferenczi Zoltan, Cristian Niculescu Țâgârlaș, Marius Bozîntan, Ioana Birta, Angela and Tudor Țiboc, Ionel Bogdan and Radu Negulescu needed a humanitarian cause that would give meaning to their climb on Kilimanjaro. With the help of Hope and Homes for Children, they chose the 8 members of the Bordei family: Anișoara, the mother, and her 7 remarkable children, Diana, Viorel, Liviu, Sorin, Mădălina, Adrian and Alina.
After a horrible life alongside an abusive husband, the mother saved her children by running away with them, taking only the clothes they had on. With tenacity and optimism, Anisoara managed to quickly find a steady job where no one knew how many children she had and how difficult it was to feed 8 people from one modest salary. The family lived in a rented two-room apartment, with used and uncomfortable foldout beds.
The goal of the Hope X-Challenge team was to completely change the lives of Anișoara and her children through “Kilimanjaro for Hope”: the total amount of over 26,500 Euros raised on the Galantom.ro platform represented a part of the necessary funds for buying an apartment. Hope and Homes for Children supplemented the necessary amount and the Bordei family was going to return the money, over time. In August, the family moved into their new, comfortable and spacious home. “Climbing Kilimanjaro is probably easier than
it was for a mother without any means to raise
her 7 children. We joined forces to climb the
mountain in her place. We know we can, and
we must, make a difference in the life of the
community and, in this way, our world will
function much better!”

Winter Special Games
178 children and young people with special needs participated in the 13th edition of the Winter Special Games organised by Hope and Homes for Children on the Icoana ski slope in Cavnic (Maramureș County).
The Winter Special Games are more than a sports competition engaging children and young people with special needs. They represent the best opportunity to understand what “special needs” means at the community level and to help children and young people spend an unforgettable day among friends.
The participants come from the child protection services in Baia Mare and from the Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre for People with Special Needs in Sighetu Marmatiei. Some of the participants were beneficiaries of the Esperando Association, of ASSOC and of the “Luchian” Day Centre,
organisations with which Hope and Homes for Children has had a long collaboration.
Full of energy, the children and young people were divided into teams and they competed in fun winter activities: they played football in the snow, hopscotch, tug-of-war, they threw snowballs at targets and built snowmen, they took turns sleighing down the slope and relay racing carrying a ball on a spoon. They were rewarded with medals and diplomas, as well as personalized t-shirts to remind them of this special day.

Hope Concert
On March 18th, the third edition of the Hope Concert took place at the Romanian Athenaeum. Hope Concert continued the tradition of the Twin Art Gala initiated in 2013, in the name of hope, which is the basis of the Hope and Homes for Children philosophy.
Over 700 guests participated in this performance with classical music, jazz and street art organised for the children at risk of being abandoned. Cellist Marin Cazacu, pianist Andrei Licareț, the Violoncellissimo ensemble, jazz duo Mircea Tiberian and Nadia Trohin, percussionist Zoli Toth, actress Ana Pepine and soprano Irina Iordăchescu were among the artists who performed on stage.
For the first time, street art joined classical music and jazz. In front of the Athenaeum, there was a ”live street art performance” created by the Sweet Damage Crew team, some of the most famous graffiti artists in Romania.
The host of this evening was journalist Amalia Enache, Hope and Homes for Children Ambassador.
Among the guests of the Hope Concert were Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, who sent a message of support and appreciation (see cover 3) for the activity of Hope and Homes for Children, Princess Marina Sturdza, Honorary President of the organisation, representatives of partner companies, local and central authorities, celebrities, journalists, supporters, as well as beneficiaries of the Hope and Homes for Children programmes.

Team Hope at the Bucharest International Half-Marathon
157 runners, 1,475 kilometres and over 14,000 Euros raised for the cause of vulnerable children, the beneficiaries of Hope and Homes for Children programmes, as well as a winning banner – these are the results of Team Hope’s first participation in the Bucharest International Half-Marathon.
All of the runners who registered for the event had the possibility to support a specific cause. 157 of them chose to support the vulnerable children who are beneficiaries of Hope and Homes for Children’s programmes in Romania.
BRD Groupe Société Générale, one of the main sponsors of Hope and Homes for Children, had the largest corporate team, with 44 runners registered for all types of races. For each of these runners, 5 other BRD employees enrolled in the monthly donations programme and the amount raised was then matched by the bank and donated to the organisation.
The Team Hope t-shirt was also worn by
celebrities, who ran for Hope and Homes for Children: Chef Adrian Hădean ran the Half Marathon race (21 km) and Virgil Ianțu teamed up with actress Alina Chivulescu, TV producer Cosmin Cernat and trainer Valentin Vasile in the relay race (4 x 5 km). Anda Dimitriu, Maria Hojda, Anca Petcu and Claudiu Rusu, participants in ”The Voice” show, broadcasted by PRO TV, were part of the “Voice of the Heart” team and ran in the relay race.
Trainer Răzvan Doica, Iron Man champion at the National Triathlon Championship in Oradea in 2014, proved to everyone that generosity has no limits: he ran the 3.6 km Popular Race in 12 minutes, then he ran the Half-Marathon race (21 km) and the Relay Race (5 km).

Children’s Day
The 1st of June was a special and happy day for the children included in the Hope and Homes for Children programmes: they had lots of wonderful surprises that they will remember for a long time.
At the Day Centre and Emergency Reception Centre in Sighetu Marmației (Maramureș County), the children became pastry chefs for one day. They created their own cakes and decorated them, eager to taste their creations.
In Cluj Napoca, the 24 children from the “Prichindelul” Placement Centre received a wonderful gift: a trip to the mountains, the first for many of them.
In Botoșani, the 27 children and young people from the “Elena Doamna” Placement Centre celebrated Children’s Day at a picnic in the Hudum Park. They played football, jumped on the trampoline, went fishing in the lake, barbecued and relaxed in the hammocks, on the grass or in treehouses.
In Bucharest, the 33 children from the “Pinocchio” Placement Centre in District 3 celebrated their day with a party, with dancing, music, pizza, balloons and lemonade, together with the Hope and Homes for Children team and with volunteers. Anda Dimitriu, a finalist in the “Voice of Romania” show on PRO TV, sang for the children and invited them to dance. The children were very excited and thoroughly enjoyed to participate in the artistic programme organized for them.

National Special Olympics Games
The National Special Olympics Games, the largest sports event for people with intellectual special needs, took place in Târgu Mureș (Mureș County) between May 29th-June 1st. Over 300 athletes from different organisations, associations and special schools participated in the event.
As always, the children included in the Hope and Homes for Children programmes also took part in the event, competing in the track & field events and bocce.
Apart from the competition events, the lighting of the Hope Flame, the Circle of Friendship and the Special Olympics Oath, along with the happiness given by the
mere participation and desire to win are elements that turn the Special Olympics into a unique event, very much appreciated by its participants.
Being a part of the event gives these children and young people the opportunity to feel independent, to belong to a group and to be accepted by those around them, to know people who are facing the same difficulties and to make friends.
The struggle of children and young people with special needs never ends, but it can be turned into a positive challenge by the people who support and believe in them.

With this project, Tery and Ghiță wanted to fulfil some of the strongest desires of the children who attend the Day Centre and those who live in the small group homes in Baia Mare. The children have been dreaming for a while of having birthday parties, which is something normal for typical families, but a rare occurrence for them.
Therefore, 126 children from 11 small group homes and the children who attend the Day Centre have some unique experiences and special memories: parties with their friends and peers, presents, colourful balloons, entertainment, fun, attention, emotion and lots of love.
The children sang “Happy Birthday”, they blew the candles on the cake while making a wish – a habit we are so familiar with, but which is usually a first for them.
”The idea took shape in May, when we
celebrated the birthday of two children –
Terezia and Cristian – from a small group
home for children with special needs. We
threw a small party for them, with balloons,
cakes, sodas and the presents they had
wished for. It was a celebration for all the
children in the home – they played games,
we had small competitions for them and
we were all happy and excited to celebrate
together.”

Art and Solidarity Camp
In Desești, one of the most beautiful villages in Maramureș County, 80 children and 50 artists participated in the 11th edition of the Art and Solidarity Camp, initiated and coordinated by Priest Ioan Ardelean. The camp is organised with the support of Hope and Homes for Children and its goal is to bring the community closer to the creative and artistic potentials of vulnerable children.
Keeping the traditions of the other editions, artists from all over Romania, from Hungary, Great Britain and Ukraine became mentors for the 80 children from Sighetu Marmației, Baia Mare, Cluj Napoca, Câmpia Turzii and Botoșani.
The entire village of Desești is involved in this project, which brings beauty to the lives of the children who are in such a great need of healing through art. The most beautiful
paintings created by the children were exhibited in Băneasa Shopping City in Bucharest.
”For the past 11 years, a miracle is taking
place in a small community in Maramureș.
Artists and children in state care gather
here, as part of a project called the Art
and Solidarity Camp. For a week, there
is no difference between disciples and
apprentices. Masters and apprentices take
their canvases, as well as their hearts, and
find here the piece of heaven where they
can heal through art.”

Team Hope at the Bucharest International Marathon
250 runners chose to wear the blue t-shirt of Team Hope and to support the cause of Hope and Homes for Children at the Bucharest International Marathon. Over 20,000 Euros were raised by Team Hope runners.
Chef Adrian Hădean was part of Team Hope and ran 42,195 km; Otto Sestak, National Director Hope and Homes for Children, Dragoș Bucurenci, spokesperson of the organisation, ran the Relay Race with fitness trainer Cori Grămescu, photographer Alex Gâlmeanu and lawyer Ioana Banu. Claudiu Rusu, the musician whose career was launched by “The Voice” ran 10.5 km in the Relay Race, and two weeks prior to the marathon he performed a charitable concert with Anda Dimitriu and Omar Secada Dihigo.
The Little Team Hope team joined Team Hope for this edition of the Marathon, which included 8 children from the “Pinocchio” Placement Centre in Bucharest, who ran in the Children’s Race.
”I saw the smiles and the joy on the faces
of the children who participated in the
Marathon when they saw their parents at
the end of the race. I feel for the thousands
of children in institutions who do not have
this joy. Thank you to those who responded
to the call of Hope and Homes for Children
to become the heroes of the children
without a childhood and to those who
donated for this cause.”

The visit of Nadia Comăneci and Ilie Năstase to the “Bucium” Day Centre for Gifted Children Coming from Disadvantaged Families
The second year of strategic partnership between Hope and Homes for Children and BRD Groupe Société Générale was inaugurated with an event organised at the “Bucium” Day Centre for gifted children who come from disadvantaged families.
The workshop, called “Open Windows”, was the opportunity through which Dragoș Bucurenci encouraged the 10 children who are the current beneficiaries of the centre to imagine how they would like their futures to be. Guided by Nadia Comăneci and Ilie Năstase, the children put their thoughts on paper in the form of drawings, which completed a graffiti image done by Sweet Damage Crew.
”When I grow up, I want to teach others”, this was one of the most moving messages written by the children on the panels that will decorate the Day Centre gym. Another emotional moment was when Ioan Mărincean, one of the institutionalised children and a 12th grader at the “Emil Racoviță” National College in Iași, played tennis with Ilie Năstase.
As part of the strategic partnership with BRD Groupe Société Générale, the Day Centre will be rehabilitated and equipped, so that the number of children who benefit from the services provided within the “Bucium” Complex for Community Services increases from the current 15 to approximately 100 children by 2017. The partnership also includes the provision of informal educational services for children and social services for their families, in order to prevent school abandonment.
”Every child has the right to dream and we can
help to make these dreams a reality. We had the
opportunity to be encouraged and supported
by our loved ones and now it’s time to pay it
forward and be there for these children, so that
their wishes come true.”

The Closure of “Prichindelul” Placement Centre
The project to close down the “Prichindelul” Placement Centre in Cluj Napoca began in 2014, when there were 44 children in the institution, aged 3 months to 21 years. Shortly after, 5 of the young adults were transferred to two of the services for adults in Cluj County. For the remaining 39 children, the best solutions were sought, considering everyone’s age and situation, so that they could have access to a family environment: 24 children were proposed to be moved in the two small group homes opened by Hope and Homes for Children, a child was reintegrated with their family, 2 were placed in family-type apartments, 3 children were moved into existing small group homes, 3 were placed with families and 3 in services for adults.
The 24 children were prepared in time for their move into the two small group homes, “Grigorescu” and “Târnavelor”, including visits
during the construction and finishing phases. At the beginning of October, “Prichindelul” Placement Centre was closed and the two small group homes opened up for the children. They were very happy to see that they had much more room to play and that each of them had their own personal items. Both homes have spacious yards where the children can play or have picnics.
The opening of the two small group homes in Cluj is only a part of a larger project that Hope and Homes for Children is undertaking together with the Cluj Child Protection Department, which includes preventing the separation of children from their families, deinstitutionalisation, supporting young people leaving care and training the staff working with the children.

Visit of the British Ambassador in Romania, His Excellency Paul Brummell, to Baia Mare
Great Britain is the main supporter and funder for the reform programmes of the child protection system implemented by Hope and Homes for Children in Romania since 1998. In order to know the work of the organisation more closely, Her Majesty’s Ambassador Paul Brummell paid a visit to the programmes in Baia Mare (Maramureș County).
His Excellency spent some time with the Hope and Homes for Children team and talked to social workers, psychologists, educators and trainers from the organisation. The programme also included discussions with local authorities concerning the way in
which partnerships between NGOs and state authorities can result in a better life for the most vulnerable children and their families.
The most emotional moments of the visit were the meetings with beneficiaries of the Hope and Homes for Children programmes: families included in the programme to prevent the separation of children from their families; Victor, a young man who had the chance to be placed with a foster carer after many years of abuse in institutions; the children from the “22 Decembrie” Day Centre, and members of the disadvantaged communities in Craica and Cuprom areas.

Transit, Assistance and Counselling Centre for Young People Leaving the Child Protection SystemOn November 17th, in Baia Mare, we began building the Transit, Assistance and Counselling Centre for Young People Leaving the Child Protection System. The Centre is built with support from Kaufland Romania and in partnership with the local authorities.
The most difficult problems faced by the young people when they leave state care are finding a place to live and the lack of financial resources to help them obtain one. These young people need a form of transition towards independent life, in which they can benefit from integrated services, accommodation, information and counselling, mediation and monitoring.
The Centre will have a capacity of 19 places and will provide a short- and medium-term solution for the critical issue of dwelling for the young people leaving care in Maramureș. Integrated into the care system, the Centre will ensure a reasonable exit flow from state care and will contribute to reducing the number of children in the system at the county level.
”To Kaufland Romania, being a responsible
company entails taking an active role as a social
partner in the target communities. I am very
happy to be a partner in this project, which
will contribute to reducing the risk of social
exclusion for these young people. We are aware
of the fact that there are not many alternatives
for them, therefore we believe that the Centre
will provide the necessary support for the
young people leaving state care. We would like
this project to represent a good start and not be
the only one in the country.”

Indoor Rock-Climbing, as a Christmas Present, for 30 Institutionalised Children
The “Pinocchio” Placement Centre in District 3 is one of the last old-type institutions that functions in Bucharest and it will be closed with support from Hope and Homes for Children. The children will be moved into small group homes or they will be reintegrated with their families, where possible. Until then, Hope and Homes for Children wanted to offer the 30 children in this Centre some unforgettable, wonderful moments.
With help from the Climb Again Association, at Christmas, the children received as a present a guided climbing session at Galactic Gym, where they climbed and had fun together with Gianina Corondan, Zoli Toth and Dragoș Bucurenci, as well as the Hope and Homes for Children team and specialised instructors. The children were divided into three teams – the Hearty, the Brave and the Nice – and, guided by the instructors and encouraged by their colleagues, they climbed the 10-meter walls. The joy of those who reached the top persuaded even the less brave to try it, so that, in the end, all the children took several turns to climb up the walls. Even the 5- and 6-year-olds conquered their fear and climbed the “mountains” in the gym. The Tyrolean traverse was the one
that pleased the little ones the most. Between climbing sessions, the children turned into fierce tigers and delicate fairies with the help of Maria Alexe’s magic paintbrush.
”I was so busy trying to spot those that climbed
the 10-meter high walls, which were actually
8,000 meters high, because some of them
climbed the Himalayas, others climbed the Alps.
Although in the beginning they were afraid,
they eventually managed to conquer their
limits. The less fearful followed the examples of
the more skilled ones, they found their courage
and, in the end, they couldn’t get enough of
it. If they remember this experience as a life
lesson, I think they will have gained something
important and will be fulfilled as individuals.”

In my 15 years with Hope and Homes for Children, I have learned that you need spectacular efforts, made by outstanding people on a regular basis, people who usually remain anonymous, so that young people who were once separated from their birth families can be able to complain to someone that they have the most boring life stories.

We all want to live in a world in which children have families and they are surrounded by love. But life should be more about doing and less about wanting things to be different. This is why I have great admiration for the work of Hope and Homes for Children team and I am always delighted to join their efforts to build a better world.
