<p><strong><em>We need your help to keep a KG project serving disadvantaged children open!</em></strong></p> <div>In Bucharest Romania, there are still many children that are not able to attend kindergarten as their families cannot afford it. This puts them at a disadvantage already early in life. &nbsp;</div> <div>AMURTEL Romania recently entered into partnership with the Department of Social Services and now has children that are attending the AMURTEL "Gradinita Rasarit" kindergarten for free. The kindergarten has long specialized in inclusive education - promoting inclusive attitudes of acceptance, love and friendship towards human difference, whether those difference are ethnic, in abilities, or in socio-economic status.</div> <div>However - the kindergarten is at risk for closure because the roof is severely leaking. &nbsp;Every time it rains, it rains inside as well, and we keep spraying and repainting after every rain, but mold keeps growing back. This led us to a very close-call with the health authorities that threatened a heavy fine and closure if we do not rectify the situation.</div> <div>We need your help to replace the roof this summer! In the meantime - come and see a video from the project to have an idea of how this kindergarten contributes to the children's lives</div> <div></div> <div>http://www.vimeo.com/rasarit/bucharestkg2011</div> <div> <div></div> <div><strong>Donations can be made directly via this Just Giving website.<br /><br />&nbsp;</strong></div> <div><strong>Update: July 5</strong></div> <div><strong>We have taken the old roof off the kindergarten &nbsp;and the renovation is underway. However, we are still short by about 1500 GBP - please help us so that we can complete the project!
