Romania | 2007 Update

Youth Bible Curriculum formerly known as “Christ to the Children Project” has registered during this year an interesting and positive trajectory. Most of the teenagers – beneficiaries of the project have the parents outside from the country to the work and they are in the care of grand parents or the large family.

In this year we made serious effort to popularizing and propagate the project in country by training sessions…In FY 07 the project granted support, assistance, training and materials for 500 priests and religion teachers. The beneficiaries were priests who work in parishes where we are doing the trainings and religion teachers from the schools in their area.
