Hello Everyone!
One week ago we were in Transylvania with over a dozen volunteers from several different countries giving Roma Boots to Roma children in a town called Budila. This was a very special boot drop for various reasons. We were invited to speak to students in the beautiful city of Brasov about our cause and why young people should get involved in service, giving back and volunteering. We had the opportunity to meet with politicians in Bucharest and share with them our desire to create a better future for Romania's orphans. We had ProTV, Romania's largest television network join us along and capture our boot drop experience. Lastly, we had the Mayor of Budila offer us a newly renovated learning center where we can begin teaching children who have received our rain boots how to read and write.
The story by ProTV was featured nationally and it generated great buzz and positive feedback from Romanians around the country. On December 1st, the country's National Day which celebrates the union of Transylvania with Romania, Roma Boots' Founder/CEO Samuel Bistrian, will be featured alongside other influential Romanians who are making a positive difference in the world. We are both, humbled and grateful, to see Roma Boots becoming a catalyst for change and inspiration not only in the lives of the poor, but of the middle and upper class in Romania.
Thank you for your continued support!
