Be a Mentor at a Romanian Orphanage
In 2000, 44.5% of the Romanian population was below the poverty line. Children are, of course, the ones who are most easily affected by this situation, thousands of them being placed in orphanages or forced to take refugee on the streets as their parents cannot afford to raise them. You can make the difference for a child in this country. Volunteer and provide much needed support at this Romanian Orphanage.

Cost: Varies depending on the duration of the stay (1-12 weeks).
Dates: Begins on the first and third Monday of each month.

Volunteer in Romania
The Global Volunteer Network currently has volunteer opportunities available through our partner organization in Romania. Volunteers have the opportunity to join a Christian Mission which cares for disabled orphans. There are four group homes, and volunteers will work with orphans aged from ten year old children to young adults. The children have suffered so much at a young age, but with your help they will see a brighter future.
