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.
If you can
support Dr Claudia to provide the medical needs to the old and sick of
the poorest people in
Romania,
then please support this project.
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
Workers Angie Fetea & 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?
