Story
Nightingales Children's Project is an organisation based in Constanta and Cernavoda in the South East of Romania, which relies heavily on volunteer input and fundraising. Nightingales has set up a variety of projects designed to give people in need better opportunities.
Previous projects include having built housing facilities for, and providing love and support to children affected by life threatening diseases such as HIV or AIDS. More recently, a human trafficking prevention scheme has been set up, which aims to give young girls and boys who would ordinarily be involved in human trafficking better opportunities and experiences. The scheme enables the children to achieve things such as gaining qualifications or earning money from selling handmade goods. In this way, the children are able to build a brighter future for themselves.
Along with some other young people, I hope to be involved in teaching these young girls life skills, and helping them with arts and crafts which they can sell in order to earn money.
The £350 I hope to raise will cover the cost of flights, transport to and from Romania, food, and basic accommodation. Any excess will go towards supplies which can be used for arts and crafts, activities, or gifts and practical supplies for the children.
Any donations, no matter how great or small, are greatly appreciated.
