Yesterday we have successfully reached the ending of the “Joy in a Box” campaign and we have brought happiness into the souls of the pupils attending the school of Gheboaia.
Without knowing when we decided to deliver our gifts, it happened that we arrived in the same time with Santa Clause, who was spreading his gifts assisted by the town hall’s personnel. As a result, our volunteers gladly became Santa’s little helpers and surprised the children even more.
We were welcomed warmly by all the teachers of the school along with the headmaster of the school, Mr. Mihai Tarba, by all the children eager to receive their presents and by the parents who have carefully “equipped” their small, but sturdy future representatives of their village for the artistic performance.
The pupils delighted us with Christmas carols prepared under the careful guidance of the devoted teachers. The silvery voices echoed throughout the school while waiting for Santa, Christmas and the Christmas holiday.
Beautiful, well behaved children whose smiles and joy convinced us that our efforts were worth it, proved us that they deserve our support in the future. Thus, Gheboaia remained in our hearts as being a community of beautiful people where we will come back next year with new projects and campaigns aiming to help the school, the children and their families, those who are in need socially and economically.
We would like to thank those who stood beside us, as a sponsor or a volunteer. The week prior to this event was a real test and we would not have been able to reach a favorable finality without the help of people skilled in sorting and wrapping, without a car that delivered the boxes from Targoviste, without the money for additional presents or without the truck that delivered all the boxes to the school (kindly made available by the mayor of Gheboaia, Mr. Florin Oprea). The synergistic effort of those involved allowed the “Joy in a Box” Campaign reach its goal.
We kindly invite you to get involved in our future projects meant to bring some improvement to the community of Gheboaia and other ones that are disadvantaged, as well.
Because we are very close to the Christmas season, we hope that your days are filled with blessings and joy and that you get to share this wonderful time of the year with your loved ones and we wish you all the best in the New Year!
Happy holidays and a happy New Year!
