What would I see? Would I cope? I have not been disappointed. It has been a truly uplifting experience, but at times, very sad, and very emotional.<br /><br />I have met lovely people, especially Sister Aloysius, and Traian<br />whose dedication, strength and continual energy is an inspiration to<br />us all. They do such a tremendous job often in the most difficult of circumstances. We witnessed the projects they have pioneered helping poor families, orphans, the elderly people, abandoned<br />children, disabled children - anyone in need.<br /><br />Their dedication is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble for them and, added to that, Traian is an excellent guide! They made our stay in Bucharest more enjoyable and their sense of humour, caring and compassion is extraordinary to witness. I would dearly like to return<br />again sometime.<br /><br />I will particularly miss our daily visits to Budimex Hospital where<br />we fed and cuddled several little babies.<br />I would like to thank Sister and Traian for their guidance on our visit and for making it possible to make good use of the generous<br />contributions from our friends and family in Dundee.<br /><br />It has been a special time for my life and I will never forget everyone I have met in Romania.<br /><br /><br />Moira Wright<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7057007123995598618-521243716173429815?l=memoriesofavolunteer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Silviu Despanoreply@blogger.com0
