Mobile School - Education for Children in Romania

The past few months have been full of learning, adventure, and growth for the children in our programs. Your support has helped us create opportunities where children can develop new skills, explore their creativity, and build confidence in a safe and nurturing environment. From summer camps to hands-on learning activities and fully equipped school backpacks, these initiatives have made a meaningful difference in the lives of the children.

In August and September, we organized summer camps for 112 children (56 Romanian and 56 Ukrainian) at a dedicated camp location, for two days, where they slept in tents. For most, it was their first experience sleeping in tents, a thrilling adventure that brought both excitement and new challenges. During the camps, the children participated in hiking, sports, creative activities, karaoke, and cozy campfire evenings with marshmallow roasting. Activities were adapted for different age groups, fostering both learning and social connections in a fun and supportive environment.

These experiences also allowed us to connect more deeply with the children, discussing real-life situations and offering guidance in ways that a two hour activity cannot. Feedback from both children and parents was positive, and we are determined to continue organizing summer camps every year from now on.

This year, we also organized a summer kindergarten for 15 children. Over the course of two months, the children engaged in activities designed to develop fine and gross motor skills, language abilities, sensory-motor coordination, and early numeracy, all within a supportive and enjoyable environment. We are proud to share that four of the children who reached the appropriate age are now successfully enrolled in school.

As the new school year began, we provided fully equipped backpacks to 600 children from Iasi, Suceava, and Ukrainian refugee families. Thanks to your support, these children started the school year ready, confident, and excited to learn.

Every activity, every backpack, and every smile is made possible because of the generosity of our supporters. Your contributions not only transform children’s lives in tangible ways, but also bring hope, confidence, and the joy of learning.
