Counselling for 300 children in Romania

Dear Esteemed Donors,

We are pleased to present this report detailing the activities and achievements of the "Counselling for 300 Children" project over the period from October 2024 to January 2025. Your generous support has enabled us to make significant strides in various educational and social initiatives aimed at enhancing the lives of children in our community.

The Mini Rugby for all  program continued to thrive, promoting physical activity and teamwork among children. This initiative has been instrumental in fostering a sense of community and healthy living. Additionally, we conducted financial education sessions at Scoala Gimnaziala Mitropolit Iacob Putneanul Putna, Suceava county, Romania, for 19 third-grade students, equipping them with essential financial literacy skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Over the months of September, October, and November, two young individuals received personalized counselling to prepare for admission to the ISU (Inspectorate for Emergency Situations). This support was crucial in helping them achieve their career aspirations.

We also organized activities focused on social inclusion and non-formal education, including the distribution of STEAM kits from Goodera to 21 beneficiaries at Scoala Gimnaziala Onesti, Bacau county. These activities aimed to enhance creativity and critical thinking among the children.

The Mini Rugby for all program received the Silver Recognition Award in the "An active life" category at the Community Index Awards. This accolade highlights the program's impact on promoting an active lifestyle. Furthermore, eight coordinating teachers from the program were provided with tablets to develop their digital competencies, ensuring they can effectively integrate technology into their teaching methods.

During the Christmas season, we distributed 100 hygiene kits from Avantor to Scoala Gimnaziala Paltinoasa, Suceava county and supported 50 vulnerable children with gifts, bringing joy and warmth to their holiday celebrations. We also donated 96 books in Romanian and English to Asociatia EDNAE, benefiting 32 children under their care. This contribution aimed to foster a love for reading and learning.

The 12th edition of the Viorel Lucaci National Mini Rugby Tournament saw the participation of five teams and 110 children, promoting sportsmanship and physical fitness. 

The "Counselling for 300 Children" project has made remarkable progress in various domains, thanks to your unwavering support. We are committed to continuing our efforts to provide quality education, counselling, and social development opportunities for children in our community. Your contributions have been invaluable in making these achievements possible.

Thank you for your continued generosity and belief in our mission.
