Starting from this school year, Romania started a new teaching system in schools which is called “School in a different way”. Once a year, during a week, the students are involved in different practical activities having the chance to learn at another level.
Our team had the opportunity to organize two days, during this special week, where around 200 students attended, of which 80% were Roma origin (gypsy).
Every hour about 30-50 kids attended our program and played games by which they had the chance to learn to work as a team, how to loose and to respect each other. Most importantly we wanted to have fun with them and make it a special time for the whole school. Because we worked under the school’s roof and because the teachers were attending too, we were not allowed to share a Christian message.
It was a privilege for the kids who usually attend Livada’s weekly program, because they were familiar with the staff and proud to be part of the group. They all had a fabulous time, enjoyed the activities and they hope that we will organize something similar again in the future with all of them.
Considering our future plans to open a Day Center in Ogra village and a possible collaboration with the school, it was a great opportunity to meet some of the teachers.
Please pray for full funding for the multipurpose community “Day Center” and that it will be used for God’s glory.
