Big steps for a small boy.

In an earlier newsletter we told you about a young boy named Stephan who had recently arrived at the Orphanage. He came from a sad and broken home having been abandoned by his father. Like any child who has suffered this type of pain and loss he was left with emotional scars and a deep sense of shame. We have surrounded Stephan with love and acceptance and a feeling of being home. Not only does he live in our Christian family but he has also received the medical and professional help he needs. Today he is already a different boy: happier and more confident. Each time we see a child like Stephan blossom, grow, and begin to smile again we remember why we do what we do. We too begin to smile!

The Power of a Backpack: Restoring Dignity, Opening Doors

By Debora Brown • September 11, 2025
Each fall, children approach the first day of school with nervous anticipation or eager excitement. As a child, I loved school. I remember preparing with a list in hand, carefully choosing pencils and notebooks. We weren’t wealthy, but my parents always found a way. Sadly, many children in Romania don’t get to experience that joy. For them, choosing school supplies or packing a backpack is out of reach. Without basic tools, some can’t attend school at all—missing the education that could shape their future.
