Tablets for disadvantaged children in Romania

Dear supporter, 

I trust you are well and my email finds you in good spirits. 

13 September - that's the date when all children in Romania will start school. Suceava county alone has 48% of its population living in rural areas - areas where children are fighting for basic tools to go to school such as a schoolbag, books and notebooks. For them, owning a tablet or a laptop is completely out of the question. 

We are now living in a world where Internet and technological devices have become part of our every day living pretty much as much as the glass of water we need. We all know that jobs are turning more hihg-tech by the day: waiting tables requires a tables, driving requires you to know how to use a Sat-nav and the list can definitely go on. 

That's why, I think it is somehow our responsibility to give these children the best educational tools they need to succeed in life, even if we are just talking about bus driving. 

For them, we need to focus our efforts because the way we get involved in their education is the way we are paving our future. 

I know we can do this together and we can make sure we are all living in a better world. 

Every little help counts towards education and the future! 

Thank you 

Dear supporter, 

We trust you are well and our email finds you in good spirits. 

I think we can all agree that in today's world, digital literacy is a key factor in education. Our world is both enriched and burdened by computers and gadgets. 

Especially now, children need to be able and understand technology so they can use it safely and effectively. 

We all agree that technology doesn't replace learning; it simply contributes to enhancing it. Now more than ever, we need to stand by those children that come from disadvanatged backgrounds, to give them a fighting chance at finding better jobs in the future. 

In an era mastered by digitalisation, we need to make sure our children are well equipped to face it. 

We need your help to support orphans and disadvanatged children in Romania hold the promise for a better future! 

Thank you! 

Yours in education, 

Gabriela 

Dear supporter, 

Happy New Year!

I trust you are well and my email finds you in good spirits. 

Two weeks of 2021 have already passed. In Romania, 2021 started with the vacination campaign and it would seem that we are placed the 8th country in the EU for vaccins. That is somehow an encouraging thought. 

At the same time, schools have remained closed and we have had no official announcement with regards to children being able to return to a new normality. 

Education continues to remain one of our top priority for the children we support. Therefore, we ask for your support one more time to invest in these children's future! 

Thank you and yours in education! 

Dear donor, 

The 14th September marked the start of the school year in Romania. With over 1000 number of Covid cases on a daily basis, our concern is directed at the children we support. 

Currently, all children in Romania are obliged to wear masks in school; maintain social distancing during classes and adhere to a new set of measurements to prevent infection with the new Corona Virus as much as possible. 

At the same time, should we face a scenario where the number of cases go beyond 1 case per 1000 inhabitans; they will swap into a part online/part in school education. 

For the children we support, moving onto the 2nd scenario currently seems like a mission impossible. They do not have the digital instruments necessary or the minimum of knowledge on how to use them. 

That's why we make an appeal to you one more time to help us support orphans and disadvanatged children in need with tablets. Our goal is not just to equip them with tablets but teach them the necessary digital competences to be able to perform in school. 

And we cannot achieve this without your help! 

In the name of all the children that have not seen a tablet in their life, THANK YOU!
