Purpose: To provide safe, fun relationship building and interaction with the girls of Deborah House (home for abused girls in Romania), sharing the love of Christ with them and the community in which they live, as well as arms, legs and backs for light construction work on the facilities and community that support them. This is a great trip for families, parents with early to mid- teenage boys and girls, or college students. We stay with local Romanian Christian families which allows for great cultural, faith, and friendship exchange.
Requirements: A willing spirit, patience, and love for these wonderful girls who now have a second chance; and a willingness to try your hand at arts and crafts, games, devotionals and light construction that might be outside your comfort zone.
Language: Romanian, not required, most speak some English
