Qui sommes-nous
Since 1990, the "Interessengemeinschaft für rumänische Waisenkinder" (syndicate for Romanian orphants) has been supporting abandoned children in the area of Brasov (Kronstadt) in Romania. Abandoned means that a child is deported from the family into a State institution, a sad tradition from the Ceausescu period and a consequence ofthe impoverishment of the country. Many of those children have stayed considerably behind in their development and remain permanently damaged without well-directed and loving care.
Current projects of the syndicate for Romanian orphants:
- Foundation of two children refuges in Ghimbav near Brasov in which children between two and twelve years have found a home for several years.
- Family work and foster families in Sighisoara
In autumn 1999, the syndicate started a new project with the foundation of a second daughter organization called "Luminita Copiilor" in Sighisoara (Schäßburg), 80 km North of Brasov which set as its goal among other things to place abandoned children with Romanian foster families who get a salary from the syndicate. The corresponding money shall be raised in the form of godparenthoods. At the moment, a Romanian family needs approximately ? 90.- per child per month.
- Therapy and advice centres in Schäßburg in which foster parents and the traumatized children are supported by psychologists, ergotherapists and volunteers from Germany.
- Work in the children´s clinic of Schäßburg done by two sisters who are employed and paid by the syndicate. In addition to that, it participated in the financing and renovation of the clinic and the fitting-out of a playing room.
Down to the present day, the projects are exclusively financed by donations. The whole staff is working on a voluntary basis and for free, absolutely effectively, in flexible and clear structures with short decision-making structures and a minimum of administration costs.
We can offer an overnight accommodation for other net participants. In addition to that, we can give advice in the fields of fair trade and development policy, we can give a lecture and arrange for contacts.
