When Hope and Homes for Children took
on the major overhaul of the child protection
system in Romania, I knew that this was no easy
task. It is a huge undertaking, an exhausting one
and oftentimes unimaginable, but it is always a
crucial one.
The institutions closed during all these years,
the small group homes opened, and the
children who returned to their families, as
well as the legislative changes and the training
of the staff working in the state system, are
big achievements that we have managed to
accomplish together. They add to the thousands
of children we helped stay with their families,
to the young people whom we’ve helped to
begin independent lives and to the families
we’ve helped lead a more decent living.
We will continue to offer hope, dignity and the
love of a family to children in need and to those
caring for them.
I am proud to say that I have been a part of this
amazing team for the past 18 years and I thank
them for the small and great miracles they do
every day. I have the outmost respect for the
results of their work.
Princess Marina Sturdza
Honorary President
We are getting close to our 18th anniversary of working with children
without a childhood in Romania. It is time to look back with a smile, to
celebrate with those we have saved from institutions and to give hope
to those whom we want to save from being institutionalised.
We are determined, by 2022, to proudly announce that we no longer
have children in orphanages, nor will we ever have. Because we know
that the best place for any child to be in is a family.

National Director
Our vision:
A world in which children
no longer suffer institutional care
Our mission:
To be the catalyst for the global eradication
of institutional care for children*
* We focus on closing all old-type institutions in Romania, because we believe that they destroy childhoods. Our
programmes aim to replace the institutional child protection system with a family-based one. We believe that
attachment, individual attention, love and care are essential for every child.
There will always be potholes on Romanian
roads. In Romania, motorways only have a
beginning, but no end – they are never finished.
In Romania, people steal. In Romania, we don’t
know how to take care of orphans. .
We ‘grew up’ with these scenarios. We didn’t
just hear them, we have experienced them
every day.
However, in the same Romania, I have come to
know people who have been overturning these
scenarios, steadily and determinedly, and who
have created a happy end for situations that
had dramatic beginnings.
For the past 5 years, working with Hope
and Homes for Children, I have gained the
confidence that here, in Romania, we know
how to take care of abandoned children. I am
also confident that we can find a home and
a family for Olga, Ana, Andrei, and for every
institutionalised child. It is a happy end to be
fulfilled no later than 2022.
Amalia Enache
Hope and Homes for Children Ambassador
For me, to be part of the Hope and Homes for
Children team is something normal, which
gained new significance about a year ago,
when I became a father. It was one of the
most wonderful moments in my life. During
the following days (and nights) I realised how
complex, complicated and overwhelmingly
beautiful it is to raise a child.
This is what Hope and Homes for Children
does every day and every night, being there
for the children who cannot enjoy the warmth
and love of a family. It is a colossal mission
and, as I advance in my mission as a parent, I
begin to realize just how big it is. I think I have
come to understand Hope and Homes for
Children better than ever and I support them
with all my heart.

Closing Down Old-Type Institutions
In Romania, 18 years ago, there were
about 100,000 children in old-type
institutions, also known as ‘orphanages’.
In 2015, as a result of the programmes
of Hope and Homes for Children and its
partners, there were 8,000 children left in
institutions in Romania.
Growing up in an orphanage leads to
the marginalisation of children, to their
isolation, by depriving them of affection
and socialisation. The lack of love and
attachment specific to a family and the lack
of stimulation and individual attention that
every child needs have devastating effects.
Therefore, the alternative is to close down
orphanages and to find the best solutions
for children, appropriate to their respective
situations: reintegrating them into their birth
or extended families, when and if this is
possible, adoption, placing them with
foster carers or moving them into small
group homes.
Through the programme of reintegrating
children with their birth or extended families,
they return into their families supported by
a set of specific care measures. To date,
we have reintegrated 714 children with
their families.
The small group home provides children
and young people with an environment as
close as possible to a family one. These
homes accommodate 10-12 children
who receive care, education, emotional
support and counselling in order to
develop their independent living skills and
to prepare them for family reintegration or
for social and professional reintegration.
The homes are located on a regular street
in the community, they have their own
yard and they are always integrated in the
community. The children are involved in
household activities, exactly like in a family,
they have friends and they go to school
together. To date, we have opened 99
small group homes all over the country.
Hope and Homes for Children’s mission is to close down all old-type institutions
in Romania by 2022.
Closing Down Old-Type Institutions
The Children and Young People from the “Elena
Doamna” Placement Centre Will Lead a Better Life
At the beginning of October 2015, the
“Elena Doamna” Placement Centre was
closed by the County Authority for Social
Work and Child Protection (CPD) Botoșani,
with the support of Hope and Homes
for Children, and the children and young
people there have begun a new life.
The process of closing down this
orphanage began in May 2014, when
there were 35 children and young people
in the institution. Following the social
and psychological assessments, 6
young people aged 18 and over received
counselling in order to find a job and
to begin independent lives. One of the
children in the institution was reintegrated
into their birth family and another one was
placed into a small group home, to be
closer to their parents and to be eventually
reintegrated into their family. The other 27
children and young people were moved
into 5 family-type apartments in Dorohoi.
All the children and young people received
specialised counselling and support to
transition from the institutional environment
to a family one.
Hope and Homes for Children was also
involved in training the staff who will take
care of the children in the family-type
apartments and especially in supporting
the families who live in severe poverty, in
order to prevent child abandonment. The
support was provided in partnership with
the local and county authorities, making use
of resources both at community level and
provided by Hope and Homes for Children.
Closing Down Old-Type Institutions
Olga came to register for the foster care
course organised by Hope and Homes
for Children. The first thought that came
to Claudia’s mind, the trainer whom Olga
spoke to, was to tell her “My dear, being
a foster carer is something very special. I
think it would be wise to wait a bit longer for
it”, because Olga was very young.
However, Claudia didn’t give in to her first
impulse. She took a sip of coffee instead
and asked Olga: “Why do you want to
become a foster carer?” And Olga looked
into her eyes and began to tell her about
her life. All of a sudden she didn’t seem
that young anymore. They realised they had
known each other for 15 years, they might
have even played together when Olga was
a child in the institution and Claudia was
a new employee with Hope and Homes
for Children.
Olga was abandoned at birth. She spent
7 weeks in the pediatric ward, then she
was transferred to the “Leagăn” Institution
in Sighetu Marmației. Olga has a few
memories from when she was in “Leagăn”:
scenes that took place at night, the milk
bottle she received, which she held on to
all night, but especially the crying of a baby
younger than she was. Ironically, crying in
an orphanage is an exception. Abandoned
babies learn quickly that no one comes
when they need it, they lose confidence and
their lives sink into silence. The long-term
effects are devastating.
Olga remembers how she would
crawl over several cots to reach the
crying baby and then she would
sleep next to him.
She has a single picture left from “Leagăn”.
It is torn. She recently took it to a photo
store to have it redone. The adult Olga can
easily be recognized in that picture.
When she was about 3-4 years old,
Olga was moved to the “Preșcolari”,
another orphanage in Baia Mare. Here the
memories change: more children, adults
who were yelling, feeling fear hiding under
the bed or behind the closet, days of
hunger and sleepless nights. Olga has a
picture from this stage of her life also.
She is in an uncomfortable position and
her facial expression is that of a child
caught running.
At the age of 6, Olga once again packed
up her life. It was just a small bundle,
including the two photos, a significant load
of mistrust and doubt, an equal amount of
need for protection and love, a few visible
Olga’s Story
wounds to the head—she had been struck
because she wouldn’t behave during
bath time—and some invisible wounds in
her heart. This time she didn’t carry her
luggage, a foster carer did it for her.
For a while, Olga called her “ma’am”. Later,
after having slept in her arms for many
nights and having searched through all the
cupboards and drawers in the house, after
dirtying everything, breaking a few things
and being fussy about her food, she ended
up calling her “mother”. And so it has been
for the past 15 years.
Olga has a full life, which includes a lot of
the day-to-day normal things one would
expect from a young person. Her mother
is now much older, Olga is an adult and
she wants to raise a child who is not lucky
enough to have a family. If you ask her
about the photos, she tells you with a big
smile that now she has many, probably too
many, and that they’re all printed on paper,
because she needs to be able to feel them.
Preventing the Separation of Children
from their Families
51% of the children in Romania live
in extreme poverty.
One of the results of poverty is
the abandonment of children
in institutions, and, for children
who end up in orphanages, the
consequences are isolation – by
depriving them of affection and
socialisation, by marginalising
them, and destroying their futures
by making it impossible for them
to cope with typical human
interaction. For these reasons,
keeping the family intact, ensuring
that children stay with their parents,
remains a priority when it comes to
the best interest of the child.
Hope and Homes for Children
intervenes where necessary to
keep children with their families,
using a set of measures focused
on the individual needs of
the family.
Based on certain criteria and
indicators, a team of specialists
decides on supporting the family
and the types of interventions
(counselling, material support, etc.)
needed to prevent the separation
of children from their families.
Preventing the Separation of Children
from their Families
The Bordei family includes Anișoara, the
mother, and her seven children, Diana,
Viorel, Liviu, Sorin, Mădălina, Adrian and
Alina, aged between 10 and 23.
After a horrible life alongside an
abusive husband, the mother saved
her children by running away with
them, taking only the clothes they
had on.
Nothing discouraged her, not even the
first nights in Bucharest, which they spent
in a shed, nor the hardships they had to
face. With tenacity and optimism, Anișoara
managed to quickly find a steady job and
rented a two-room apartment, with used
and uncomfortable foldout beds, but which
she kept very clean. Although Anișoara had
had a steady job for more than 8 years,
the family was having a very hard time.
However, she managed to have her children
study piano and cello, foreign languages,
tennis or dancing. While also studying to
attend university, the older children worked
in order to help their mother and siblings.
Anișoara’s dream was to save enough
money for the down payment on a house
that would be theirs alone. She would
rather pay the money that went on the rent
to a credit, so that her children could be
safe, with a roof over their heads, should
anything bad happen to her, especially
since they didn’t have anyone else to help
them. This was their situation when Hope
and Homes for Children found out about
them, and the organisation has since gone
to great lengths to find a solution so that
the children and their mother could stay
together and have a better life.
The first helping hand came from 10
young people united by the same dream:
to exceed their limits in order to change
destinies. The initiative was called
“Kilimanjaro for Hope” and was launched
by Radu Negulescu. In February 2015, the
10 young people climbed the Uhuru Peak
of Kilimanjaro (5,895 m), in order to raise
25,000 Euros and provide this family with
a chance to a better life. (See pages 3637 for more on the “Kilimanjaro for Hope”
expedition.)
The 25,000 Euros raised by Radu and his
team represented a part of the necessary
money for purchasing an apartment. Hope
and Homes for Children supplemented the
amount and the Bordei family was going to
return the money, over time.
A three-bedroom apartment was chosen
as the future home for the family, but it still
needed renovation and furniture.
The Home of Bordei Family
Their dream was going to be fulfilled by the
PRO TV team and their show, “Extreme
Makeover – Home Edition”.
„When they step into their home, we would
like it to be exactly as they’ve dreamt it,
maybe even more than that. We would
like it to be the complete opposite of what
they have now: a mix of used furniture that
they have received for free from several
neighbours, tables and chairs that are
almost crumbling and each bed is shared
by four children.”
Ileana Cirț,
Social worker, Hope and Homes for Children
The team of “Extreme Makeover – Home
Edition” was delighted to meet the 8
members of the Bordei family and transform
their wishes into reality. Everyone enjoyed
the filming process and there were many
surprises and unforgettable moments. They
played tennis with Simona Halep, they had
their first holiday together in the mountains
and they impressed everyone with their
strong bond.
Though the lives of Anișoara and her 7
children changed for the better, they remain
a truly united and happy family, in their
new home.
Social and Professional
Integration of Young People
Leaving the Child
Protection System
At the age of 18 or when they
complete their studies, the young
people in care have to leave
the orphanages without having
been prepared for independent
life. In fact, the staff members
who interact with them are rarely
trained to prepare them for this
stage in their lives.
A social system that marginalises
them through institutionalisation
continues to marginalise
them through lack of support
programmes or strategies that
would help them to confidently
begin their independent lives.
Many times, young adults who
were institutionalised lack the
basic skills related to personal care
and hygiene and, when they exit
the system, the lack of a home,
of financial resources and of
vocational guidance makes them
feel alone, isolated in a foreign
world.
The social and professional
insertion of these young
people, with the support of
Hope and Homes for Children,
means improving their skills
for independent living (through
counselling and material support),
creating the conditions for their
integration on the labour market
(through counselling, mediation,
recommendations), and, with the
involvement of the local authorities,
providing them with a home.
Until now, we have supported the social integration of 774 young people.
Social and Professional Integration of Young
People Leaving the Child Protection System
Răzvan’s story is an impressive one. It is
about a survivor of the state “protection”
system, someone who gives back to the
community of origin, in spite of it having
abandoned him.
Răzvan is 27 years old. He has spent all of
his life in state care. He was abandoned at
birth because his family was very poor and
the history repeated for his sister, two years
later. Together, they grew up in the “Leagăn”
Institution in Sighetu Marmației, after which
they were transferred to “Preșcolari”. Later
on, the two siblings were separated and
Răzvan ended up at the orphanage in
Bocicoi and in other three institutions for
children after that.
Răzvan says that the experience in the
state system was extremely abusive, which
drove him as far as attempting suicide. He
is surprised he survived so many types of
abuse and the absence of people with whom
he could have created an emotional bond.
Although he saw his parents and sister again,
as an adult, the emotional connection was no
longer there.
Since 2009, Răzvan has been working as a
substitute teacher at a school attended by
a large Roma community. Răzvan is a role
model for the 300 children in that school,
as well as a guide for validating their own
ethnicity: he teaches Romani language and he
is also a school mediator.
In spite of his contribution to the school and
the community at large, Răzvan could not
become a permanent teacher, which reduced
his income and provided no stability.
The Survivor
from the Faculty of Letters, the Social Work
Department.
Having to face all of these challenges,
Răzvan decided to ask for our help.
Following the assessment, Răzvan received
the support he so desperately needed: help
to rent an apartment, money for food, a
few items of furniture and some household
appliances, clothes and support to pay his
commute to and from work.
Every year, he had to take an exam in order
to be assigned the job and, during school
holidays, unlike the other permanent teachers,
he received no salary.
During the school year, he lived with one of
the Roma families near the school and his
expenses exceeded his income. He thought
it wasn’t appropriate for him to buy food only
for himself and not offer any to the children in
that family. In spite of his financial difficulties,
he continued to study and he graduated
He also received encouragement and advice
regarding independent life, study materials
for university and, perhaps most importantly
of all, the feeling of belonging to a family that
he can count on.
The Reform of the Child
Protection System
We contribute to reforming the child
protection system by creating strategic
partnerships with the Romanian
Government, the Ministry of Labour, Family,
Social Protection and the Elderly, and
UNICEF, as well as through collaborations
with County Child Protection Departments.
In 2015, we worked together with 18 CPDs,
supporting them in their effort to reform the
child protection system at the county level.
The main organisational objective is to
catalyse the reform of the child protection
system in Romania by closing down all
remaining institutions and eradicating the
institutionalisation of children in Romania
by 2022, by developing the capacity of the
professionals working in the system and
by influencing the development of social
policies and legislation.
Hope and Homes for Children is an
organisation specialised in training
both direct care professionals working
in institutions and managers of county
child protection services. In our 18 years
of activity, we have developed our own
educational curricula and a training centre
in Baia Mare. All of our training programmes
are based on caring for the individual needs
of the children.
The training courses are: 1) initiation/
induction for the staff working in institutions
and who are preparing to transition
into family-type alternative services; 2)
continuous training offered, on a regular
basis, to staff and specialists working in the
child protection services; 3) national and
international technical assistance through
which we provide consultancy to authorities
in Romania and in other countries and for
whom we develop programmes adapted to
their specific needs.
We have offered technical assistance
for public services specialized in child
protection in Bosnia, Belarus, Ukraine, the
Republic of Moldova, Kosovo, Albania,
Rwanda, Sudan, Azerbaijan and Georgia,
as well as in Latin America (Argentina,
Uruguay and Mexico).
Until now, we have trained 7,164 staff members from the child protection system in
Romania and in 10 other countries in Europe, Africa and Latin America.
The Reform of the Child Protection System
What does it mean to be a trainer
at Hope and Homes for Children?
I like to believe it is a happy and harmonious blend of several roles
held within the organisation.
I say blend because of the knowledge that the Hope and Homes for
Children trainer assimilates, at first, from areas such as social work,
psychology and pedagogy, and then later on they associate them
with a vast and direct experience with children and their carers
from different institutions, centres or small group homes.
In order to balance all of these and to create harmony, the trainers
then add a series of skills related to communication, relaying
information, empathising and expressing what they want to teach
those around them.

Opening of the Social Centre for Hygiene
The Social Centre for Hygiene is an innovative
service opened by Hope and Homes for
Children and the County Social Services
within the Baia Sprie Town Hall in order to
improve the quality of life for the children
coming from poor families in that community.
Once the Social Centre for Hygiene was
opened, low-income families with many
children, who don’t have the possibility to
ensure their proper hygiene and cleanliness
at home, could benefit from the services of
the Centre.
The project began in 2014, when, following
a meeting between Hope and Homes for
Children and representatives from the Baia
Sprie Town Hall (Maramureș County), it
came up that a large number of families
with many children have no access to hot
running water and are unable to regularly
wash their clothes, which would put them
in difficult, embarrassing social situations.
These children didn’t know what it meant to
brush their teeth, take a shower or put on
clean clothes in the morning, their lack of
cleanliness making their peers reject them,
and even leading to health issues.
The Centre has 10 shower cabins, 4 washing
machines, 2 clothes driers, toilets and closets
for personal items. The beneficiaries also
have free access to hygiene products.

”Kilimanjaro for Hope”
“Kilimanjaro for Hope” is the initiative of 10 people
united by the same dream: to exceed their limits
by climbing Kilimanjaro (5,895 m), the highest
mountain in Africa, in order to raise 25,000 Euros
and give a family the chance to a new life.
Team Hope X-Challenge, consisting of Adina
Tămaș, Gabriel Murczko, Ferenczi Zoltan, Cristian
Niculescu Țâgârlaș, Marius Bozîntan, Ioana Birta,
Angela and Tudor Țiboc, Ionel Bogdan and Radu
Negulescu needed a humanitarian cause that
would give meaning to their climb on Kilimanjaro.
With the help of Hope and Homes for Children,
they chose the 8 members of the Bordei family:
Anișoara, the mother, and her 7 remarkable
children, Diana, Viorel, Liviu, Sorin, Mădălina,
Adrian and Alina.
After a horrible life alongside an abusive husband,
the mother saved her children by running away
with them, taking only the clothes they had on.
With tenacity and optimism, Anisoara managed
to quickly find a steady job where no one knew
how many children she had and how difficult it
was to feed 8 people from one modest salary.
The family lived in a rented two-room apartment,
with used and uncomfortable foldout beds.
The goal of the Hope X-Challenge team was
to completely change the lives of Anișoara and
her children through “Kilimanjaro for Hope”: the
total amount of over 26,500 Euros raised on
the Galantom.ro platform represented a part of
the necessary funds for buying an apartment.
Hope and Homes for Children supplemented
the necessary amount and the Bordei family was
going to return the money, over time. In August,
the family moved into their new, comfortable and
spacious home.
“Climbing Kilimanjaro is probably easier than
it was for a mother without any means to raise
her 7 children. We joined forces to climb the
mountain in her place. We know we can, and
we must, make a difference in the life of the
community and, in this way, our world will
function much better!”

Winter Special Games
178 children and young people with special
needs participated in the 13th edition of the
Winter Special Games organised by Hope
and Homes for Children on the Icoana ski
slope in Cavnic (Maramureș County).
The Winter Special Games are more than
a sports competition engaging children
and young people with special needs.
They represent the best opportunity to
understand what “special needs” means at
the community level and to help children and
young people spend an unforgettable day
among friends.
The participants come from the child
protection services in Baia Mare and from
the Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre
for People with Special Needs in Sighetu
Marmatiei. Some of the participants were
beneficiaries of the Esperando Association,
of ASSOC and of the “Luchian” Day Centre,
organisations with which Hope and Homes
for Children has had a long collaboration.
Full of energy, the children and young people
were divided into teams and they competed
in fun winter activities: they played football in
the snow, hopscotch, tug-of-war, they threw
snowballs at targets and built snowmen, they
took turns sleighing down the slope and relay
racing carrying a ball on a spoon. They were
rewarded with medals and diplomas, as well
as personalized t-shirts to remind them of
this special day.

Hope Concert
On March 18th, the third edition of the
Hope Concert took place at the Romanian
Athenaeum. Hope Concert continued the
tradition of the Twin Art Gala initiated in 2013,
in the name of hope, which is the basis of the
Hope and Homes for Children philosophy.
Over 700 guests participated in this
performance with classical music, jazz and
street art organised for the children at risk
of being abandoned. Cellist Marin Cazacu,
pianist Andrei Licareț, the Violoncellissimo
ensemble, jazz duo Mircea Tiberian and
Nadia Trohin, percussionist Zoli Toth, actress

programmes, as well as a winning banner – these
are the results of Team Hope’s first participation in
the Bucharest International Half-Marathon.
All of the runners who registered for the event
had the possibility to support a specific cause.
157 of them chose to support the vulnerable
children who are beneficiaries of Hope and
Homes for Children’s programmes in Romania.
BRD Groupe Société Générale, one of the main
sponsors of Hope and Homes for Children, had
the largest corporate team, with 44 runners
registered for all types of races. For each of these
runners, 5 other BRD employees enrolled in the
monthly donations programme and the amount
raised was then matched by the bank and
donated to the organisation.
The Team Hope t-shirt was also worn by
celebrities, who ran for Hope and Homes for
Children: Chef Adrian Hădean ran the Half
Marathon race (21 km) and Virgil Ianțu teamed
up with actress Alina Chivulescu, TV producer
Cosmin Cernat and trainer Valentin Vasile in the
relay race (4 x 5 km). Anda Dimitriu, Maria Hojda,
Anca Petcu and Claudiu Rusu, participants in
”The Voice” show, broadcasted by PRO TV, were
part of the “Voice of the Heart” team and ran in
the relay race.
Trainer Răzvan Doica, Iron Man champion at the
National Triathlon Championship in Oradea in
2014, proved to everyone that generosity has
no limits: he ran the 3.6 km Popular Race in 12
minutes, then he ran the Half-Marathon race
(21 km) and the Relay Race (5 km).

Children’s Day
The 1st of June was a special and happy
day for the children included in the Hope
and Homes for Children programmes: they
had lots of wonderful surprises that they will
remember for a long time.
At the Day Centre and Emergency Reception
Centre in Sighetu Marmației (Maramureș
County), the children became pastry chefs
for one day. They created their own cakes
and decorated them, eager to taste their
creations.
In Cluj Napoca, the 24 children from the
“Prichindelul” Placement Centre received a
wonderful gift: a trip to the mountains, the
first for many of them.
In Botoșani, the 27 children and young
people from the “Elena Doamna” Placement
Centre celebrated Children’s Day at a picnic
in the Hudum Park. They played football,
jumped on the trampoline, went fishing
in the lake, barbecued and relaxed in the
hammocks, on the grass or in treehouses.
In Bucharest, the 33 children from the
“Pinocchio” Placement Centre in District
3 celebrated their day with a party,
with dancing, music, pizza, balloons
and lemonade, together with the Hope
and Homes for Children team and with
volunteers. Anda Dimitriu, a finalist in the
“Voice of Romania” show on PRO TV,
sang for the children and invited them to
dance. The children were very excited and
thoroughly enjoyed to participate in the
artistic programme organized for them.

National Special
Olympics Games
The National Special Olympics Games,
the largest sports event for people with
intellectual special needs, took place in Târgu
Mureș (Mureș County) between May 29thJune 1st. Over 300 athletes from different
organisations, associations and special
schools participated in the event.
As always, the children included in the Hope
and Homes for Children programmes also
took part in the event, competing in the track
& field events and bocce.
Apart from the competition events, the
lighting of the Hope Flame, the Circle of
Friendship and the Special Olympics Oath,
along with the happiness given by the
mere participation and desire to win are
elements that turn the Special Olympics into
a unique event, very much appreciated by its
participants.
Being a part of the event gives these children
and young people the opportunity to feel
independent, to belong to a group and to be
accepted by those around them, to know
people who are facing the same difficulties
and to make friends.
The struggle of children and young people
with special needs never ends, but it can be
turned into a positive challenge by the people
who support and believe in them.

Club Hope
Club Hope is a project initiated by Tery and
Ghiță Silaghi from the “22 Decembrie” Day
Centre, opened by Hope and Homes for
Children in Baia Mare (Maramureș County).
With this project, Tery and Ghiță wanted to
fulfil some of the strongest desires of the
children who attend the Day Centre and
those who live in the small group homes in
Baia Mare. The children have been dreaming
for a while of having birthday parties, which
is something normal for typical families, but a
rare occurrence for them.
Therefore, 126 children from 11 small group
homes and the children who attend the Day
Centre have some unique experiences and
special memories: parties with their friends
and peers, presents, colourful balloons,
entertainment, fun, attention, emotion and
lots of love.
July
The children sang “Happy Birthday”, they
blew the candles on the cake while making
a wish – a habit we are so familiar with, but
which is usually a first for them.
”The idea took shape in May, when we
celebrated the birthday of two children –
Terezia and Cristian – from a small group
home for children with special needs. We
threw a small party for them, with balloons,
cakes, sodas and the presents they had
wished for. It was a celebration for all the
children in the home – they played games,
we had small competitions for them and
we were all happy and excited to celebrate
together.”

Art and Solidarity Camp
In Desești, one of the most beautiful villages
in Maramureș County, 80 children and 50
artists participated in the 11th edition of
the Art and Solidarity Camp, initiated and
coordinated by Priest Ioan Ardelean. The
camp is organised with the support of Hope
and Homes for Children and its goal is to
bring the community closer to the creative
and artistic potentials of vulnerable children.
Keeping the traditions of the other editions,
artists from all over Romania, from Hungary,
Great Britain and Ukraine became mentors
for the 80 children from Sighetu Marmației,
Baia Mare, Cluj Napoca, Câmpia Turzii and
Botoșani.
The entire village of Desești is involved in this
project, which brings beauty to the lives of
the children who are in such a great need
of healing through art. The most beautiful
paintings created by the children were
exhibited in Băneasa Shopping City
in Bucharest.
”For the past 11 years, a miracle is taking
place in a small community in Maramureș.
Artists and children in state care gather
here, as part of a project called the Art
and Solidarity Camp. For a week, there
is no difference between disciples and
apprentices. Masters and apprentices take
their canvases, as well as their hearts, and
find here the piece of heaven where they
can heal through art.”

Team Hope at the Bucharest
International Marathon
250 runners chose to wear the blue t-shirt
of Team Hope and to support the cause
of Hope and Homes for Children at the
Bucharest International Marathon. Over
20,000 Euros were raised by Team

Director Hope and Homes for Children,
Dragoș Bucurenci, spokesperson of the
organisation, ran the Relay Race with fitness
trainer Cori Grămescu, photographer Alex

marathon he performed a charitable concert
with Anda Dimitriu and Omar Secada Dihigo.
The Little Team Hope team joined Team
Hope for this edition of the Marathon, which
included 8 children from the “Pinocchio”
Placement Centre in Bucharest, who ran in
the Children’s Race.

”I saw the smiles and the joy on the faces
of the children who participated in the
Marathon when they saw their parents at
the end of the race. I feel for the thousands
of children in institutions who do not have
this joy. Thank you to those who responded
to the call of Hope and Homes for Children
to become the heroes of the children
without a childhood and to those who
donated for this cause.”

The visit of Nadia Comăneci and Ilie Năstase
to the “Bucium” Day Centre for Gifted Children
Coming from Disadvantaged Families
The second year of strategic partnership between
Hope and Homes for Children and BRD Groupe
Société Générale was inaugurated with an event
organised at the “Bucium” Day Centre for gifted
children who come from disadvantaged families.
The workshop, called “Open Windows”, was the
opportunity through which Dragoș Bucurenci
encouraged the 10 children who are the current
beneficiaries of the centre to imagine how they
would like their futures to be. Guided by Nadia
Comăneci and Ilie Năstase, the children put
their thoughts on paper in the form of drawings,
which completed a graffiti image done by Sweet
Damage Crew.
”When I grow up, I want to teach others”, this
was one of the most moving messages written by
the children on the panels that will decorate the
Day Centre gym. Another emotional moment was
when Ioan Mărincean, one of the institutionalised
children and a 12th grader at the “Emil Racoviță”
National College in Iași, played tennis with
Ilie Năstase.
As part of the strategic partnership with BRD
Groupe Société Générale, the Day Centre will
be rehabilitated and equipped, so that the
number of children who benefit from the services
provided within the “Bucium” Complex for
Community Services increases from the current
15 to approximately 100 children by 2017. The
partnership also includes the provision of informal
educational services for children and social
services for their families, in order to prevent
school abandonment.
”Every child has the right to dream and we can
help to make these dreams a reality. We had the
opportunity to be encouraged and supported
by our loved ones and now it’s time to pay it
forward and be there for these children, so that
their wishes come true.”

The Closure of “Prichindelul”
Placement Centre
The project to close down the “Prichindelul”
Placement Centre in Cluj Napoca began
in 2014, when there were 44 children in
the institution, aged 3 months to 21 years.
Shortly after, 5 of the young adults were
transferred to two of the services for adults
in Cluj County. For the remaining 39 children,
the best solutions were sought, considering
everyone’s age and situation, so that they
could have access to a family environment:
24 children were proposed to be moved
in the two small group homes opened by
Hope and Homes for Children, a child was
reintegrated with their family, 2 were placed
in family-type apartments, 3 children were
moved into existing small group homes, 3
were placed with families and 3 in services
for adults.
The 24 children were prepared in time for
their move into the two small group homes,
“Grigorescu” and “Târnavelor”, including visits
October
during the construction and finishing phases.
At the beginning of October, “Prichindelul”
Placement Centre was closed and the
two small group homes opened up for the
children. They were very happy to see that
they had much more room to play and that
each of them had their own personal items.
Both homes have spacious yards where the
children can play or have picnics.
The opening of the two small group homes
in Cluj is only a part of a larger project that
Hope and Homes for Children is undertaking
together with the Cluj Child Protection
Department, which includes preventing the
separation of children from their families,
deinstitutionalisation, supporting young
people leaving care and training the staff
working with the children.

Visit of the British Ambassador in Romania,
His Excellency Paul Brummell, to Baia Mare
Great Britain is the main supporter and
funder for the reform programmes of the child
protection system implemented by Hope and
Homes for Children in Romania since 1998.
In order to know the work of the organisation
more closely, Her Majesty’s Ambassador Paul
Brummell paid a visit to the programmes in
Baia Mare (Maramureș County).
His Excellency spent some time with the
Hope and Homes for Children team and
talked to social workers, psychologists,
educators and trainers from the organisation.
The programme also included discussions
with local authorities concerning the way in
which partnerships between NGOs and state
authorities can result in a better life for the
most vulnerable children and their families.
The most emotional moments of the visit
were the meetings with beneficiaries of the
Hope and Homes for Children programmes:
families included in the programme to prevent
the separation of children from their families;
Victor, a young man who had the chance
to be placed with a foster carer after many
years of abuse in institutions; the children
from the “22 Decembrie” Day Centre, and
members of the disadvantaged communities
in Craica and Cuprom areas.

Transit, Assistance and Counselling
Centre for Young People Leaving the
Child Protection System
On November 17th, in Baia Mare, we began
building the Transit, Assistance and Counselling
Centre for Young People Leaving the Child
Protection System. The Centre is built with
support from Kaufland Romania and in
partnership with the local authorities.
The most difficult problems faced by the young
people when they leave state care are finding a
place to live and the lack of financial resources to
help them obtain one. These young people need
a form of transition towards independent life, in
which they can benefit from integrated services,
accommodation, information and counselling,
mediation and monitoring.
The Centre will have a capacity of 19 places and
will provide a short- and medium-term solution for
the critical issue of dwelling for the young people
leaving care in Maramureș. Integrated into the
care system, the Centre will ensure a reasonable
exit flow from state care and will contribute to
reducing the number of children in the system
at the county level.
”To Kaufland Romania, being a responsible
company entails taking an active role as a social
partner in the target communities. I am very
happy to be a partner in this project, which
will contribute to reducing the risk of social
exclusion for these young people. We are aware
of the fact that there are not many alternatives
for them, therefore we believe that the Centre
will provide the necessary support for the
young people leaving state care. We would like
this project to represent a good start and not be
the only one in the country.”

Indoor Rock-Climbing, as a Christmas Present,
for 30 Institutionalised Children
The “Pinocchio” Placement Centre in District 3 is
one of the last old-type institutions that functions
in Bucharest and it will be closed with support
from Hope and Homes for Children. The children
will be moved into small group homes or they will
be reintegrated with their families, where possible.
Until then, Hope and Homes for Children wanted
to offer the 30 children in this Centre some
unforgettable, wonderful moments.
With help from the Climb Again Association, at
Christmas, the children received as a present a
guided climbing session at Galactic Gym, where
they climbed and had fun together with Gianina
Corondan, Zoli Toth and Dragoș Bucurenci, as
well as the Hope and Homes for Children team
and specialised instructors. The children were
divided into three teams – the Hearty, the Brave
and the Nice – and, guided by the instructors and
encouraged by their colleagues, they climbed the
10-meter walls. The joy of those who reached the
top persuaded even the less brave to try it, so
that, in the end, all the children took several turns
to climb up the walls. Even the 5- and 6-year-olds
conquered their fear and climbed the “mountains”
in the gym. The Tyrolean traverse was the one
that pleased the little ones the most. Between
climbing sessions, the children turned into fierce
tigers and delicate fairies with the help of Maria
Alexe’s magic paintbrush.
”I was so busy trying to spot those that climbed
the 10-meter high walls, which were actually
8,000 meters high, because some of them
climbed the Himalayas, others climbed the Alps.
Although in the beginning they were afraid,
they eventually managed to conquer their
limits. The less fearful followed the examples of
the more skilled ones, they found their courage
and, in the end, they couldn’t get enough of
it. If they remember this experience as a life
lesson, I think they will have gained something
important and will be fulfilled as individuals.”
