This is the cathedral in Timisoara where Johanna is in final year of Medicine and Kenny has just started Economic Sciences. Kenny was one of the 3000 students who failed to get a place in the halls of residence (!) so we had to search for an apartment for him to share with three friends. Having finally found one and moved the boys in we discovered to our horror that the owners were having to sell the apartment and the boys could be given notice any day, depending on whether or not the new owners wanted to rent it out! So ... the search began again and today we finally found a new place. It's not quite as handy for him but it's bigger (the other was tiny) and very nice though unfurnished so we need to find some furniture for them.
While I was doing the rental contract with Kenny, the owner and the agent Kenneth went to the airport to collect Fiona, the daughter of good friends of ours in Glasgow who has come to volunteer for a week.
This has been a very expensive month and we're going to have to go back to Scotland to work next month ... if we can fit it in between all the visitors who have suddenly decided that November is a good month for Romania!
working with street children and disadvantaged families in Arad, Romania.
The charity "Vis de Copil" (A Child's Dream)was set up in May 2002 by Kenneth and Kathryn Cloke in response to the needs observed during two years working on the streets of Arad.I'm Kathryn (or Kat, Katy, Kathy, Kati or Kate depending on your fancy)and together with my husband Kenneth seek to help street children, poor families and children at risk in the city of Arad and its surrounding area. Our children have all attended school and university here in Romania and we are all proud to be adopted Romanians.
