2. One Thousand Hot Meals Everyday-Food Bank in Bucharest

In our city there is over 1000 homeless and indigent people, and winter is quickly approaching. Our food bank collects unused perishable foods. We take this food and give it to the hungry. We need $15.000 to organize transport of 45 tones of food which has been promised to us by various sponsors (restaurants, hotels, etc.) From this food we will prepare hot meals for the homeless and poor. Totally, thanks to your support 1000 people will receive one hot meal a day for three months. This will allow them to survive through the winter.

4. Convention of Children’s Rights in Children’s Hands

Currently, under the political, economic and social changes taking place in East-Central Europe children are facing tremendous pressures. The United Nation’s Convention on Children’s Rights, which is well known and respected in the West, is little known and not respected in our country. We will change this reality. Through publishing the text of this convention in our language in a brochure and poster form. It will be distributed among students, teachers and parents. We need 50.000 copies to reach every classroom in our country. One copy will cost $1. At this moment we have $25.000. We are asking you to please provide us with the other $25.000.
