The students of the ProRoma School together with the teachers address a message of gratitude, appreciation and appreciation to Mr. Remus Toderici for his active involvement in the activities of the project "Assuming Identity through Photography". We learned a lot, we discovered the art of photography, it became one of our passions.

Thank you and we await you in Tinca!

We were present at the Bihor county Job Fair organized by Ajofm Bihor.

We don’t have any jobs available, but we have some very useful information about how to find a workplace without becoming a victim of human trafficking.

“Choose to work in safety”

Students and teachers from the Private Christian School in the Roma neighbourhood, Tinca, celebrated ‘International Roma Day’ in a new and attractive way for children and parents as they organized a talent contest "Roma have Talent".

The contest event took place on March 30th and was intended for students of the organizing school. It took place at the Cultural House in Tinca Commune. The event consisted of organizing a talent contest, divided into three sections: song, poetry and dance. Each participating student was rewarded for his work by receiving a prize for participation. Awards were awarded for each section whilst the grand prize was won by sisters Sara and Beatrice Fekete who competed in the song section.

Through this event, we wanted to draw the attention of the community and local authorities to the importance of education for Roma children.

Children at the Private Christian School in the Tinca Roma neighbourhood, had an activity where they learnt about the importance of fruit for health. In the activity they associated the pictures of fruit with the fruit in the basket. They touched them, discussed each one (form, colour), prepared together a fruit salad and then shared happily with their older colleagues.

This activity is one of the actions initiated by our school within the project "Healthy Food and Physical Activity in Kindergartens and Schools" in partnership with the Bihor Public Health Department.

The development of life, social and emotional skills is a priority in the afterschool programs held at the Private School in Tinca with financial funding granted by the Princess Margarita of Romania Foundation. With their support, around 100 children daily receive help in doing their homework as well as learning other skills. The nutrition program is extremely important and vital for children from the Roma community. A balanced, appropriate and diversified diet helps children focus more in lessons and makes them healthier, happier, and more confident.

Many THANKS to the Cumbrian team of volunteers from Boxes of Hope, Cumbria for their great service this week distributing thousands of Christmas gifts to Romania’s children. Thank you all for coming and hope you had a great experience! Our many thanks to your donors and all those involved in whatever way to make this campaign possible! Your love and generosity is amazing!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!

This week, we at People 2 People Foundation are celebrating our 18th Anniversary! (in Romania this means we are grownups now:) ) It is a moment of joy, but also a moment of self assessment and planning for the future.

We know for sure IT’S NOT ABOUT US, it never was - IT'S ALL ABOUT THEM! About all the CHILDREN, WOMEN, MEN and FAMILIES we have met these years. It is about abandonment, tragedies, broken dreams, plans, success and sometimes failures. Is about having PEOPLE on our focus and trying to build a different future, a more empowered and brighter one. PEOPLE pushed us forward despite all the hard work and sometimes frustrations.

Our colleague Simona Tarau is working closely with parents in order to involve them in the educational process of their children. Parents come to organized groups once a week to discover that even though they haven't been to school themselves they can still support their children in doing so. 

Children love it! Parents understand what is happening in school and that there are things they can do to help. Guess what? Children can't wait to teach their parents - shapes, colors, letters, numbers, etc...Some parents became more interested in schooling and want to learn more! There is so much joy and love!
