Language, Computer and Electronics Courses

Language  Computer and Electronics Courses

Once a year we organise English courses where we invite teachers from Great Britain. The course is open to everybody who wants to study and practise the language. The students vary in age from 15 to 50 years but most are high school students or young adults.

At the end of 1997 we started a three month computer course for children, young people and adults. A specialist in computers comes to teach the basics of computer programming. We now have 15 second hand computers which have been configured specially for this. For the first course we registered 70 students who were divided into groups. We repeat the course four times a year and we expect to have between 200 and 240 students. There is no other business or company in the town which teaches computing, so the demand is high, particularly as our society develops.

At the electronics course we have 20 children aged from 10-14. The children come to this course to learn many practical aspects of electronics.

Justification of the project

We consider this very necessary in our society, as we noticed that there are many young people who have intellectual capacity but do not have material support to finish their study and develop their training.

Objectives of the project

To encourage and support children and young people materially to continue their studies and to motivate their family members to support them emotionally and spiritually.

Summary of the project

We are currently helping fifteen students and high school pupils who come from families which cannot support them to go to school or university. Because of financial difficulties in their families, many children have to end their education before they start high school. Although schooling in Romania is free, the costs of uniform and stationery can be a great burden for a poor family. We want to develop this project and increase the number of the children we support. We provide for the material needs of the children and talk to their parents about how they can provide good emotional support for their children.

There are some very talented children who, for this same reason, cannot continue at school. We want to identify such children and help support them so they can finish their education.

The Special School

Special School

Justification of the project

Children in the town’s Special School often have specific and special material needs.

Objectives of the project

Direct help for the children that are in this school.

Summary of the project

In our town there is a school for children with learning difficulties. They come from poor families. They are called "slow learners" because they progress at about half the rate of the other children. During the years, we have supported them in several ways. We have paid for two sets of 20 desks to be made. Each Easter and Christmas we gave gifts to the children. Additionally, every week the classes come with their Religious Education teacher to see a Christian video.

 

Extra Lessons for Children

Extra Lessons for Children

                

Justification of the project

Many children, particularly those from families with financial and material difficulties, leave prematurely after the 8th form of elementary school.

Objectives of the project

To support and train the children that come from families with financial difficulties and so avoid premature school leaving.

Summary of the project

For the past three years we have paid for a specialist subject teacher to come and give extra lessons to children who are in grades 7-8 to prepare them for the high school entrance exams in mathematics, physics and Romanian language.

Sponsorship of Book Publishing

 

 

Justification of the project

To encourage and support the publishing of literature.

Objectives of the project

To cover the cost of publishing, partly or fully.

Summary of the project

The foundation sponsored the publishing of some poetry books, including one volume of Christian poetry by Lidia Dan from Cluj. Also, we plan for this year to cover partly, the publishing cost of two more volumes (one of Christian poetry and another of Christian essays) by the famous writer, Lidia Dan, from Cluj.
