A preview of the orphanage


In one short week I will finally be on a plane to Campina, Romania-- after over a year of planning and anxiously waiting!  Casa Sperantei ("House of Hope") is home to 42 orphaned children (primarily aged 6-12 years) and a handful of caregivers.  I will be living at the orphanage during my time in the country.  With God's love, patience, and knowledge guiding me, it is my intention to implement a "train-the-trainer" program that targets the caregivers in order to improve the quality of life for the children.  My gracious supervisor (and translator) has also initiated a program to integrate computers into the orphanage-- an exciting endeavor I hope to facilitate as well.  Clearly I have much in store for the next four months!
