Thank you for visiting this online fundraising page inspired by my visit to Romania earlier this year, Romania why Romania its old news? Old news with new problems.
120,000 Street Children 100,000 children in orphanages does not barely touch the problem that Children in Romania face from day to day
Here is an extract from my report from the trip.
.........our next destination up in the Northern Mountains to a small town of Brosteni, to The Bread of Life orphanage, where we were met by Gabi and his team who care for children ageing from as young as 3 to 18 years of age. The statistics where a stark reminder of the needs in this country as exemplified by the rural town of Brosteni with a population of around 8,000 people which has a state orphanage caring for 50 children, as well as The Bread of Life orphanage which has 95 kids and an extended food program for another 50 children in the area.
Yet whilst we were there we were given a taste of the heart of the team and the children, when we were invited to follow the ‘meals on wheels team’ of young lads from the orphanage who go out every day on their bikes with hot food in back packs to widows and less able people in the area. When asked why they do it, there reply is ‘its good that we can give a little from what we receive’ it was a very humbling experience to meet such great young lads who will ride up to 2 hrs to get the food out to those in need...............
Unable to shake these images from my head I was convinced to Cycle from Barwell to Brostini a mere 1652miles to raise money to feed over 1200 children in our feeding program in Romania. My head and my 50 year old body are in complete disagreement but I am determined to make this a point of difference for these kids, Hence the Bif on a Bike cartoon....which is too like me for comfort.
I hope that you will partner with me in this project to Raise £8,000 to provide enough food for a year for the 1200 children. The equivalent of 4 pence a meal or as the our slogan says £4 = 100 meals the price of a take away.
