These patients are Romania's most forgotten people. Almost no one visits them. And in these times of happyness for all of us, I suggest we do something for these people who are long forgotten.

We will all put 60 ron, buy some candies and give them the candies as a Christmas present. Transportation to the hospital and back will be assured. There is a networking meetup after at Harbour ( 1 Piata Amzei , Bucuresti ).

We did this Christmass 2017, November 2018, December 2018, the summer of 2019  and we plan to continue doing this in 2020 and so on.

Following an original idea by Damian Galvin.

The program for December 2019 visit is here.

Ahh, I managed to miss this event, it would have been great to attend.

I run a childrens charity and work with children all over Romania. How many people are in the hospital that require presents?

Next year I will bring you "shoebox" presents for residents of all ages. If someone can message me, we will set this up in advance. They can be used to supplement the gifts from this group.

If anything is needed by this institution in the coming 12 months, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. Thanks, Iain.
