Abandoned Children Need Love and Care!
Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man. ~Rabindranath Tagore
Hello,
My name is Ana Hanis and I am the founder of a project for helping abandoned children in Romania. Many of the children we work with are perfectly healthy but because the orphanages are full they spend months and even years in children hospitals. The staff there is not trained, paid or willing to look after these children properly. At the beginning of our work we had seen children age 3, 4 or older who could not sit, walk or speak, who could not play as they were never given toys or who never left their hospital beds in their whole life. Actually, most of them withdrown in themselves. They stopped crying as they saw there is no one there for them when they cry. They stop looking as all they could see day by day, months after months were the same white walls and the same white bedsheets.
We want children to be cared for and looked after in a loving and stimulating enviroment. We offered the children many things they lacked as:cloths, colorful enviroment, toys, real food but most important love and personalised attention. Each child is important for us. No child is a mistake. No child should feel unwanted, rejected and ignored. When they come into this world they need us, adults, so much and they can't really understand why there is no one there for them. they do not understand the lack of funds in the hospital's budget or the lack of mood in the hospital staff. They want to be loved.

We aim to make abandoned children happier, loved and well looked after. We want abandoed children to feel accepted and precious. We want them to have someone there for them when they cry, someone who will pick them up and show them affection.
And we also aim to educating the poor and let them know about contraceptive methods so the number of unwanted pregnancies will decrease. An informed woman can choose when to get pregnant and therefore the child she will give born to will be loved and cared for. But a woman who had never heard of contraception and most important, she can't afford it, is at the risk of getting pregnant and than abandon her child due to mny reasons of which the most important is poverty.
Funds are raised in order to make this project continue and develop. We aim to open a Transit House for these children, a place where they will be well looked after and where they will stay untill a suitable family is found for them. The initial cost of the project is $10.000.

Every child should know a hill,
And the clean joy of running down its long slope
With the wind in his hair.
He should know a tree--
The comfort of its cool lap of shade,
And the supple strength of its arms
Balancing him between earth and sky
So he is a creature of both.
He should know bits of singing water--
The strange mysteries of its depths,
And the long sweet grasses that border it.
Every child should know some scrap
Of uninterrupted sky, to shout against;
And have one star, dependable and bright,
For wishing on.
Edna Casler Joll
