In Siret in Romania, we have set up a school building with a rehabilitation centre. This complex is intended for children with a mental and/or physical disability, and for children who cannot receive education in any other way due to their home situation. This includes, for example, children whose parents are (virtually) unable to raise them.
Brindussa Strugari is project manager on site in Siret. She has been working for the foundation since 2008, and has supervised the entire construction of our daytime centre. From 1993 to 2008, she was a Social and Charity worker among the Romanian gypsy population. The responsibilities that Brindussa now has within Casa Speranţa include: maintaining the relationship with the Romanian population and contact with the foundation. But also the primary accounting, maintaining contacts with other foundations, coordinating employees’ work, taking care of legal matters such as permits, coordinating projects and maintaining cooperation with government institutions.
Her motivation is to give families and children who are seriously underprivileged and who do not exist for the government a perspective and sense of self-worth.
