Bathroom and Therapy facilities renovation project report, Steaua Calauza, Gratiesti-Moldova

By Natalia Modval, Sergio Porres | Project Managers

Old bathroom - outside pit, no windows, no doors

Dear friends, we raised funds throughout 2012-2015 for the renovation of our facilities and in September 2015 we raised funds for the bathroom renovation, and now the work has started and the project is doing very well. We would like to share with you our progress.

The work started in December 2015 and the plan is to complete renovations of the inside rooms and hallway in about one month's time, depending on weather. We have enough funds to fix the roof, to complete the construction of the toilets, to build the therapy room and condition it for kinetic therapy, rehab physical therapy, ball pool, and other therapy equipment. A sensory room will be established in a previously renovated room in the same building.

Through a partnership with some friends, our children are currently receiving therapy sessions in a separate building across the street. This operation will soon move to the newly renovated facility. Then we will start the arduous task of getting all the equipment necessary and finish some elements of the project that were not possible during this phase.

The renovation project with the Steaua Calauza NGO is becoming a success. We have many donors and great people/volunteers partnering with us to reach the final goal: Opening of the Center for disabled Children and Youth "NICUSOR" in Gratietsti, Moldova. The name "NICUSOR" was selected in memory the Nicu, Viorica's son. Viorica is the NGO's founder and Nicu is our inspiration for this project. His story is here:

Final Project Report

By Natalia Modval, Sergio Porres | Project Leader

Motorized Wheelchair for Valerica

Subject: Final report.

We reached our financial goal and are currently now waiting for the funding to be released so that we can start the execution of the project. In the meantime, we are working with a contractor to complete the bathroom design and incorporate it to the master renovation plan. The bathroom project will take us approximately three months to complete providing that the weather is favorable during the winter months.

Since the winning of the challenge and receiving membership into the GlobalGiving community, we have experienced the following changes:

We received a motorized wheelchair for one of our kids. He had been bed ridden but this chair has given him a very precious liberty.
We received a renewed commitment from some of our donors.
We received a renewed pledge for support from the local government.
A donor secured the lease of a nearby room in a local house to enable the center to provide therapy to some of the village kids who can’t travel to the capital city.
In general, our supporting community pulled together not only to help us win the challenge but also to continue making a difference for our children.

We are also working on another project submission to raise funds for the roof and the second phase of our master plan, a therapy room. This project will take us a bit longer to not only raise the funds but also to complete the renovation. However, we will be able to have a safe bathroom facility with flush toilets which will prevent the kids from having to go outside to use the toilet facilities.

We are deactivating this project because we reached our goal and will now start working on completing the project. We will keep you posted on the progress of our project.

Please stay connected with the center via our webpage, http://gs.civic.md, or our Facebook page, https://facebook.com/SteauaCalauza.

Also, please keep an eye out for our next project. A Therapy Room for Disable Children in Moldova.

Thank you,

Therapy in our Temp Room
