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. 

Short version for whatsapp :

11.30 - 12.00 Meet Auchan Vitan at RUSTIC Restaurant inside the hypermarket( https://goo.gl/maps/zTReWvFMZin )
12.15 Departure to the Balaceanca hospital ( https://goo.gl/maps/Z61SjioQwUF2 )

Longer version :

Meeting point is at Auchan Vitan , Calea Vitan 236 ( https://goo.gl/maps/zTReWvFMZin ) at 12.00 the latest.

Bring 60 ron for gifts please, we are funding our own visit.

11.25 I am meeting Damian at Auchan.

11.30 - 12.00 Auchan Vitan - regroupment at RUSTIC Restaurant in Auchan ( there is a canteen in the hypermarket, and the name is Rustic, it is near one of the entrances. If you do not see Rustic you go to the other entrance ) , we say hello , we hug each other , we exchange cards etc.

Text Tudor 0040722789938 if lost. Calling is for emergencies.
Whatsapp is rarely responded.

12.15 we leave for Balaceanca Hospital ( https://goo.gl/maps/Z61SjioQwUF2 ) ( it is not the mental hospital, it is asylum, so it's gate no. 2, just follow my car ) .

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.
