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
