Rosalind in
Romania
Parishioner Rosalind Harber has spent the weekend working with Christian
NGO Habitat for Humanity to build a house for a family with orphaned Romanian
children in Beius, Romania. Rosalind was part of a 100 strong team donning
mason’s outfits to create a house big enough for fourteen children and their
adoptive parents.
In Romania, there are approximately 150,000 families living in poverty.
They have to cope with inadequate
heating, no running water, overcrowded conditions and no bathrooms.
They may be living in a house which
is falling down. 35% of the total housing stock in Romania is in a state
of complete neglect and requires urgent repairs.
Habitat for Humanity is a Christian NGO that works in
over 100 countries to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness worldwide
and create simple, affordable homes. Rosalind has been working for Habitat
for Humanity in Bratislava, Slovakia since September 2010.
You can see the progress that was
made on the house the team were building at the bottom of this page
