Dear friends, I'm very excited to be leading a team to Romania in May/June of this year! Our goal is to support the ongoing mission to Romanian orphans which we began in 2001. We founded our own Romanian orphan foundation in 2005 and named it "Pas Cu Pas" (Step By Step). We have a community of staff and volunteers who are dedicated to serving this marginalized demographic, near the city of Cluj-Napoca, which is located in the north-west region of Romania. We will mainly work with orphans, and special needs children & adults as well as chores and small construction jobs on the 5 acres of property located in a small village called "Borsa". I can't begin to describe the level of loneliness that these special friends experience. But I know that connecting with them brings them joy even for a short time! Plus we get to be an encouragement with our staff as we come along side them and "listen, learn & love them" as well. How fortunate am I to still be involved as a volunteer! Thank-you for continuing to be interested in this work as we enter the 25th anniversary of our first trip!
About Impact Romania
In Romania, iTeams' collaboration with the Pas Cu Pas Foundation focuses on transforming the lives of institutionalized orphans through mentorship, education, discipleship, and career training. By creating nurturing environments and fostering meaningful relationships, we aim to empower children to grow, heal, and develop the skills they need to thrive independently.
Mentorship: Personalized Support for Every Child
The Pas Cu Pas mentorship program connects compassionate volunteers with children on a one-on-one basis, addressing their unique needs and aspirations. Through these individualized relationships, children receive guidance, encouragement, and emotional support, creating a foundation for personal growth and resilience that extends beyond traditional institutional care.
Family Farm and Inclusive Facilities: Building Skills and Community
The innovative Family Farm project provides orphans with practical life skills while fostering a sense of community and collaboration. In addition, Pas Cu Pas is constructing an accessible facility for children with disabilities, ensuring that every child—regardless of ability—has the opportunity to learn, play, and flourish in a supportive environment. These initiatives exemplify a holistic approach to care that equips children for a brighter, more independent future.
