Recently, Tim, a member of the Heart for Romania team was introduced to two young boys from a remote and isolated village in rural Transylvania. These two boys wanted to attend the school in Cristuru-Secuiesc in order to continue their vocational training - however - because there village was so remote and they would have to board at the school in the week they did not have the money... they needed was about £15 a week each in order to continue with their education.
There are a lot of young people in Romania and elsewhere that have to leave school due to lack of funds. We can not help them all but we can, and will help these two guys...
Please think about whether you have anything spare to give - visit our website where you can offer a one off donation or download a regular giving form. If 6 people are able to give a fiver a week then we will be able to fund these guys through school and give them the opportunities that all young people deserve...

Young people take action
Young people have not got a great press this summer... rightly or wrongly many have been stigmatised as a result of the riots that began in London and spread across England.
But, in August a group of teenagers from London and Surrey gave their time and money to go to Romania and help two local gypsy villages with practical projects that will transform lives of many poor and marginalised people.
This is the second trip that has been run jointly between Heart for Romania, Regenerate and Liquid Connection and the plan is to run further trips next year - providing further practical support and also hopefully running some holiday camps for gypsy children.
Some of the lads from this years trip, having heard about one of the village schools that has no running water and no toilets have also come back inspired with a vision to raise funds for three wells.
you can learn more about the trip from the Liquid Connection blog here
and you can see the video of the first trip here

All is not lost - but quite a lot is!
Due to *cough* technical issues our previous news / update blog was removed. Although we are trying to recover it due to the number of exciting new projects we are getting involved in over the last few and the next few months we decided to start afresh... hope you enjoy
