Smiles 100 Love Club Newsletter
August 2011
(Earlier ones listed
below) |
|
|
|
Within the new Smiles
100 Love Club, the projects provide for more than 100 children.
Details are below of how each project shares God’s Love with the
children and their families. We’d like to see the number grow if we
have enough Love to share around!

Joint
Facility of Love |
|
|
The family situations we have come to know so well have
made clear to the Smiles leadership and supporters that there is a
desperate need for some new facilities.
 Firstly,
a Care Home for the Elderly who are in
need of daily support and an Assisted Living facility for those needing
less than 24/7 care, but are otherwise living alone and vulnerable to
the dangers and limitations of life in Romania.
Secondly, a Day Centre and Care Facility for Children with
Disabilities who have virtually no help or support from the Romanian
State. There are many children, some with minor disabilities that with
proper care and support could overcome the challenges of disability and
have a much more normal life than currently possible in Romania.

Gepiu Community Project |
|
|
This project is reaching
out to the community on a daily basis. A poor community with no high
school and virtually no employment prospects which has a history of
children dropping out of school before completing High School. Unable
to get to the city or
 cover the cost of school supplies limited those
who wanted to finish their education. Illiterate parents and poor
housing conditions added further difficulties for children to learn. Gepiu project provides educational support, hot meals and hygiene
programmes and a lot of love to ensure the children can have Hope for
the future. The elderly are cared for through visitations and
community luncheons. They and the children have access to the Gepiu
mini-bus for transport to School, Church and the Centre.

Emergency Housing Unit |
|
|
EHU was established from a
serious need within our Family Care project. People in financial
difficulty often faced eviction, or lived in dreadful
 conditions, even
in cow sheds or on the streets. They need help to re-establish their
lives and overcome the trauma of homelessness. Our EHU provides the
opportunity for temporary shelter in a loving, caring facility until a
permanent solution is secured. The EHU also provides safety and
shelter for many mothers and children suffering from domestic abuse.
Smiles work very closely with the Child Protection Agency and State
Social Services to provide the care and support families in this
situation need.

Salard Gypsy Community |
|
|
Our
introduction to the Salard Gypsy Community was through a family
tragedy of losing their home through a fire which also claimed the
life of their 5 year old daughter. Smiles built a new home in 6 weeks
and was instantly made aware of significant needs within the community
for further housing and a special love for people who were forgotten
and neglected by society.
