SMILES MEDICAL PROJECT
The cost of
medication in
Romania
prohibits the majority of our families to buy the medication needed for
treating sick family members. Often, the needs of the entire family to eat
will be a higher priority than for the sick one to get treatment. We have
too many examples of fatal consequences from a decision to save the £8/$15
prescription costs in favour of paying a bill or buying some food.
In April
2004, the growing demands of the Medical work necessitated an additional
doctor. After much prayer, the Lord provided Dr Claudia Micula to assist
Dr Ema with the Family work.
Both Drs’
Ema and Claudia have devoted their lives to serving the medical needs of
the families within Smiles’ care. The Foundation needs to meet the annual
budget for the doctors, covering Salary, Vehicle, Expenses, Clinic and
Equipment. Current annual budget is £18,800/$33,840 and an expense account
exclusively for Prescription medicine is needed to treat patients of
£3,600/$6,480 a year.
If you can
support our doctors to provide the medical needs to the old and sick of
the poorest people in
Romania,
then please support this project.
SMILES
SOCIAL/MEDICAL PROJECT IN TILEAGD
Angela Fetea joined Smiles in 2004 to assist the School and Nursery
with the complicated task of a
dministering the documentation of
children, many of whom had no birth certificate or ID of any kind. As a
qualified Social Worker, Angela was an answer to prayer for so many
trying to organise personal matters.
After a year, in 2005, Dr Ema moved to Tileagd in response to a Call of
God to serve the Gypsy Community on a more personal day-to-day basis.
Dr Ema needed help - a lot of it - and Angela joined forces with Ema to
form the Social/Medical team. Margaret Biddulph also joined the team
working with the community through Crafts and other ways of helping them
earn a living.
The 3 woman team are committed to God’s Call in sharing His Love with
the people of Tileagd through a Medical, Social, Educational and
Spiritual means.
Please pray and support them in their efforts.
SMILES
SOCIAL PROJECT
In June
2003, The Smiles Foundation began providing Social Assistance to families
with qualified Social Workers to help those within our Family Care project
who were able to work, to find work and successfully apply for the
opportunities available.
Many of our
families are illiterate, which makes applying for jobs or even completing
government forms for proper registration of children difficult and often
impossible.
Our Social
Worker Marius Pop are able to assist in these
areas, often securing employment for those who can not read or write, due
to proper completion of applications for work that has no need for
literacy during the job. The Social Assistants are an important part of
the team in Romania for helping to restore dignity for families wanting to
work but needing some help to get the opportunity.
IF I
WAS SICK.......OR UNEMPLOYED.....WOULD YOU HELP ME?
