Between the 2nd and 5th of July 2024, the CHILD'S DREAM camp was held in Moieciu, Brașov county, for 45 disadvantaged children who are beneficiaries of the ADRA project "I want to go to school!".
The "Vis de Copil" camp is an ADRA project that took off and was born from the desire to offer a reward to the children from the "I want to go to school!" project for good academic results obtained during the school year. Volunteers, instructors, pastors, sponsors, and organizers joined hands to support education and fulfill the dream of 45 children to participate in a free camp in the mountains.
Through their innocence and ability to see the world with pure eyes, through their sincerity and readiness to forgive, through their enthusiasm and eager desire for knowledge, children remind us of the simple beauty of life and urge us to rediscover the wonders around us. In every smile and in every curious question, we can find a life lesson and a source of wisdom. The days spent at Moieciu reconfirmed how important the investment in education is and how important it is to give wings to the dreams that children have.
Worth noting is the involvement of volunteer students from the "Ștefan Demetrescu" Adventist High School, in Bucharest, who put their vacation time at God's disposal to serve these children who come from underprivileged families. All the planned activities, as well as every game in the camp, showed us once again the creativity, seriousness, and determination that characterizes the beautiful team of volunteers from the Adventist high school in Bucharest.
“The collaboration between the Adventist Theological High School ‘Ștefan Demestrescu’ from Bucharest and ADRA Romania was also, this year, particularly beneficial for all the people involved in the "Vis de Copil" camp,” said Gabriela Istrate, ADRA Romania Project Manager.
ADRA Romania supports education
Beneficiaries of the ADRA project "I want to go to school!" are good, hardworking, diligent children—appreciated by the local authorities—with very good academic results, although they come from vulnerable, single-parent families and are constantly under the threat of dropping out of school.
