Dear Friends,
Even if the winters are quite chilly in our small town of Miercurea Ciuc, our work with local disadvantaged kids does not stop. Our current volunteers help us enormously to look after and educate these kids through indoor and outdoor non-formal activities. They visit after-school clubs on a weekly basis. By visiting these after-school groups, we can keep the kids interested and get them excited for the summer because the activities are similar to those we do during the summer camps. This way we can maintain their comprehension of social and life skills and help them remember everything they learned in the previous year. These youngsters may become more open, value the knowledge they have learned, and be motivated to learn more as a result of ongoing and extensive care and involvement.
Our volunteers Lisa & Lotti (Germany) held an Autumn camp for local kids. Although it was a smaller camp it was full of fun and learning, and of course for the Halloween spirit, full of pumpkin carving.
In the meantime, Amela(Poland), Linus(Germany), and Sjoerd(The Netherlands) are taking care of the kids in 6 different After School Clubs. They are here for the next 4 months so they are going to take care of the local kids. Next to our previous afterschool clubs, we are going into two new ones in Csíkcsicsó and Csomortán.
Our previously mentioned volunteers Lisa, Linus, and Sjoerd together with our volunteers Jeanne (Singapore) and Cris(Germany) are hosting two winter camps, one at the end of this year, and another at the beginning of 2023. One in Bánkfalva for aprx.15 kids and another one in Delne for aprx. 30 kids.
Jeanne: ‘Spending 4 days with these youths were fun, fulfilling, and enriching. We had a blast playing all kinds of games, unboxing many topics, and just getting to know each other through English. This will definitely be one I will remember for a long time and it was my pleasure to be part of something special.’
Thank you for all your support this year. We wish you a lovely new year!
