Weekly update 5/25 Engels

January is already over, another step towards spring. So far it has not been a “real” winter. Not in Romania either, the temperature there is higher than here.

On Wednesday we loaded a trailer with destination Breaza, we were able to make a nice varied load of it again. There were clean-up and collection jobs, it all went well. The volunteers are all experienced and know what the intention is. The planning for making the Easter packages on March 13 and 14 is also starting to take shape.

In the past, in addition to Romania with aid supplies, we also regularly went to various projects in Bulgaria. However, there came a time when we decided to focus on Romania. The idea behind that was that it is better to do one thing well than two things halfway.

We still have contact with the Tabitha Bulgaria Foundation. We make it possible for children in orphanages to receive something extra at Christmas and Easter. They are very happy with that, see the attached report of the last action with Christmas 2025.

In Breaza one of the two trailers that we loaded the week before was unloaded. The second will arrive next Monday. Everyone was happy again with the goods that we were able to bring.

The renovation of the building on the property of Csaba and Imola for the after-school care and the club for elderly women is almost finished. We are still waiting for the kitchen unit. It looks good. Solar panels will soon be installed on the roofs, the electrical installation of the house has certainly been adapted for this.

Toth Attila from Peris has had to deal with a number of government checks in his children's home. These are very far-reaching and last for a number of days, no fines resulted. However, some adjustments have to be made to the kitchen, unfortunately a considerable expense.

His farm with woolly pigs on the edge of a forest is doing well. By adjusting the feed, piglet mortality is a lot lower. Sales are also improving. Due to the risk of infection by swine fever, adjustments had to be made to the supply and discharge of water. Attila said that farm life is more difficult than he initially thought. Especially to keep the costs lower than the yield.
