Romania (Targus Mures)- ‘Liven Livada Orphanage’ (4 days)
This South-Eastern treasure chest of ancient heritage contains numerous examples of diverse culture and art. The population, predominantly Romanians, with Hungarian, and minorities German and Gypsy, is just about split, with half living in urban areas, and half in rural locations.
However, one can’t ignore the mounting problem of the growing numbers of children placed in orphanages. The staggering numbers are due to substandard population policies there, forbidding birth control and abortion, and require women to have five children. These laws have led to the birth of far more children than can be supported by the country. For our service project we will be spending four days serving in the Livada Orphanage in Targu Mures.
Look Forward To…
-Ludus Baby Hospital
-Fun and games with the Children
-Take kids to the zoo and Museum Astra
