PROJECT ROMANIA 2009
Well, well! It has been quite a journey! We worked together, traveled together, worshiped together, ate together and served together. What we hope is that this project challenged you, encouraged you and most importantly, brought you close to God. I, for one, am very proud of who you are and what you accomplished as a team! May God richly bless you for your commitment and passion! Blessings, M

The cost of the food for the duration of the project is 100 Euros per person (payable to Marcel at the start of the project). Besides this, we will welcome any further donation towards the cost of the project itself (the materials necessary for the building of the house). Just as a guide, the young people from Scotland are raising £500 each and have worked hard over the months to collect the money.
During the project, you can contact any of the team members on Marcel's local number: 0040 746 986 312.
