SMILES MEDICAL PROJECT
The cost of medication in Romania prohibits
the majority of many 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/$12 prescription costs
in favour of paying a bill or buying some food. If you can support Dr
Claudia and Nurse Dana 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
Marius Pop & Nelu Cioara 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.
