Day Center, Night Shelter & Outreach, Brasov
Bucharest, the Capital City of Romania, was the
birthplace of CRY and the location of the first Children’s Home –
Casa Robin Hood in 1996. Much has happened in the last 13 years and
2008 marked a significant change in the direction of the projects.
Over the years many children have been helped to move into
independent lifestyles with the support of CRY, returned to the care
of family, or placed with Foster Carers. During the past two years
the focus of the programs has moved to Brasov, a City some 3 hours
drive from Bucharest, in the mountainous regions of Romania.
The Day Centre in Brasov was started in 2001 and seeks to reach out
to young people living on the streets through a Day Centre and Night
Shelter. The team have seen significant developments in their work
during 2008 with positive outcomes for many of the young people and
good relationships with the Local Authorities.
In 2008 over 80 young people have been helped
through the Day Centre some of whom have returned to live with
family. Others gained employment and embraced a changed lifestyle.
The Night Shelter provides a safe and secure place for those young
people wishing to accept a change of lifestyle. They are helped to
obtain employment and eventually their own accommodation. Up to 10
young people can stay in the Night Shelter for up to 3 months.
The team work hard, in liaison with the Child Department, to reduce
the number of young people living on the streets. |
