 In Partnership with
The Smiles Foundation
|
|
October
12th 2007
A Day of
Kindness – Across Two Countries |
|
A Partnership between The Smiles Foundation
and Bromsgrove Standard Newspaper
is creating a very special Day to benefit the Building Fund of a
project in Romania to assist both the Elderly and Disabled Children.
Since 2005, Bromsgrove in Worcestershire has held a ‘Day of Kindness’
organised by Phil Haynes and
supported by the Standard.
This year, the event will take place on October 12th but
not just in Bromsgrove – but twinned in spirit and activity will be
Sanmartin/Cihei in Bihor County, NW Romania.
The Smiles Foundation and Bromsgrove Standard
will have the full support of Phil Haynes in attempting to use the
‘Day of Kindness’ to raise substantial funds for the new facility to
be based in Cihei on The Smiles Foundation’s
property.
The entire facility will incorporate Nursing Home & Assisted Living
Centre for the Elderly on one side, along with Home & Facilities for
Disabled Children on the other. Bihor County, Romania does not have
proper facilities for either category and there is great need and
interest locally for this project to be established and operating as
soon as possible.

Initial construction
costs are set at £393,500 and we hope to raise 25% of the budget on
October 12th by raising £100,000 on the Bromsgrove ‘Day of
Kindness’.
We’d like to invite Businesses, Schools,
Churches and all organisations, groups and members of the public to
get involved. Together we can do this and in the process
change the Hope and Future of so many disadvantaged people in Romania.
Mayor of Sanmartin/Cihei, Lucian Popus
is delighted to be hosting the ‘twinned’ event in his province. Local
press will be covering the event and one hopes to be in England
twinning reporting opportunities with the Standard.
Trustees and representatives from The Smiles Foundation UK and Romania
will be in Bromsgrove for 11th & 12th October to
both attend the ‘Day of Kindness’ and be present at the
concert booked for 11th October at
the ARTRIX Theatre in Bromsgrove for a concert involving local schools
and a special appearance of the Tileagd Community School Choir,
Romania.
On October 12th in Sanmartin/Cihei, Romania – The Smiles
Foundation will be organising a Party for 50 Elderly who will enjoy
lunch at the Smiles Mission Centre. The same day, 50 children
including disabled children will be having fun with Games and lots of
food on the future site of the Disabled Children’s Centre.
Maybe we can do the
same in Bromsgrove!
Also that week, The Smiles Foundation is arranging a World recognised
Tennis Coach and expert in Tennis for the Disabled to be holding a
week long coaching camp in Sanmartin/Cihei.
 The
plans are being put together for this exciting Day. Plan to be apart
of it and contact us with any questions or suggestions for making our
campaign a great success.
