Projects: Fundatia Umanitara Pacea
To benefit the school:
2. The Literacy School is for the
children and young people with ages between 10 and 25 who were never enrolled
in any form of educational system, who cannot read or write. In this program, there
are intensive courses, thus one year is equivalent of two years in a regular
school. The initiative seeks to enhance the job opportunities for them.
4. “A
day with Saint Anthony”. From spring until autumn, every Saturday, children
from the surrounding villages of Roman are invited at our location for various
activities, sports and formation competitions. The number of attending children
varies from 50 to 150, depending on the Parish.
5. “Saint Anthony of Padua” Scholarships:
15 students and pupils with very good school results, but with a difficult
economical situation, receive these scholarships.
6. Informational and Prevention Activities.
The police officers of the Neamt County Police Department organize
informational events regarding the prevention of any forms of crime. At our
Peace Foundation, these training programs take place two or three times every
year, the beneficiaries of this campaign are 100 underprivileged children,
pupils from poor families and Roma children.
In favor of the poor and
marginalized
7. “The Bread of the Poor”. With support
from the Saint Anthony Caritas in Padua, our foundation purchased a machine to
make bricks and one to cut wood. In collaboration with the Seminary farm, there
was set up a workspace for the milk production. Thereby, more than 50 families
with numerous children from Roman, receive milk and bread twice weekly.
8. Social Cafeteria. Every day, more than
60 underprivileged children receive breakfast and lunch in our cafeteria.
9. “Remote
Adoptions”. Every month we visit 50 families in Roman and neighboring
villages, providing them clothes and food. There are many needy single parent
families with numerous children. On special holidays we bring gifts for the
children. Over 300 children are supported by this program of the Foundation.
10. “The
House”. Due to multiple floods, we have intervened to help build houses for
the most needy families who did not receive any financial support from
elsewhere. The budget for one house varied from 4 000 to 6 000 euros based on
the number of family members.
11. “A handful of trade, is a handful of gold”.
Every year we organize, for three months, twice a week, sewing courses with a
specialized instructor for a group of 15 girls between 14 and 18 years old who
want to learn the basics of tailoring.
Care and health education
12.
"Health care first aid". In the "Olympic Village"
outside Roman, there are four stables converted into rooms where over 2,000
people live in very poor conditions. A doctor and a nurse, provide the minimum
necessary medicines and first aid in one of these spaces.
13. Interventions.
There are many cases in which we have to intervene with funding for people in
desperate situations (eg. a father in need of hip surgery, another father in
need of heart surgery, children and teenagers with eye and face tumors, also
the construction of water wells etc.)
14. Psychological
help. We also offer this service, through our psychologist, to children and
adolescents left home alone or with grandparents, neighbors or relatives,
especially those who have difficulties integrating into society, coming from
the streets or children without parents. Due to many requests, we opened an
office in the Sabaoani town hall dedicated to children, youth and adults.
15. Dental Care. We have received a fully
equipped dental office which ensures the children attending our centre, but
also the poor, proper dental care.
16. Physiotherapy.
In our medical centre we have an authorized physiotherapy office where a
specialist comes twice a week to help people with disabilities and injuries to
recover through massage and various physical exercises.
17. Clown
Therapy. A group of 12 clowns from VIP Italia ONLUS Association visits us
every year, and together we carry out clown therapy activities in the juvenile
prison in Bacau, also in various inclusion schools for people with disabilities
in Roman and Pastraveni.
