Hello Everyone,
On Friday, I will be leaving for my second trip to Romania. I knew when I left last Christmas that I would return someday. I didn't expect it would be in less than a year, though.
This trip will be a little different from the last. I will spend my first week with Global Volunteers, working as before with the disabled children at Elena Beldiman Hospital in Barlad. I can't wait to see Alina, Gaby, Emma, Luciana, and little Andrei again. I am sad that Cleo won't be there (she passed away in March), but I think I'll still feel her spirit there. I am excited to be bringing a generous donation of medical supplies from MedWish International -- a wonderful organization.

The next part of my trip, I will be teaching at an "English Camp" for teenagers, sponsored by the Scouts for Arts. The goal of the camp is to integrate Arts Education with conversational English language learning. I will be traveling with a group of 35 14-19 year olds to museums, monasteries, castles and cultural heritage sites throughout Romania. I don't know all the details, but I know we will be spending one night in Putna Monastery in medieval Moldova. I also know we will spend one week in the Ciucas Mountains near Valea Prahovei, reported to be the most beautiful site in Romania. Check out these links to Google Images if you would like a preview:

I'll post to this blog when I can, but I don't know how reliable internet access will be.
Bye for now,
Mary
