Become a pen pal, fill a backpack for a child in the care of social services in Romania!

Invite your friends, join the movement!

Romanian United Fund has partnered with Dr Loren Michaels Harris, Hope 4 Kids by Gaudiopolis and RUF Ambassador Corina Murariu Botez, to create a pen pal program between Romanian children who are in the care of social services in Romania and children born in Romanian families abroad.

The PenPal Project is a great example of how we can bring young Romanian people from different parts of the world together to share experiences through the power of the written word. 

Become a Pen Pal

Your first letter will fill an empty backpack that your new friend from Romania will enjoy. Help us add to the letter and the backpack some things that can be of great use and highly appreciated by the new person who will become acquainted with you!

Financiar

Cum am cheltuit banii

• Fondurile sunt colectate prin intermediul RUF - 100% din fondurile donate pentru Centrul Comunitar sunt folosite in scopul amenajarii si deschiderii centrului
• $191,000 finantati in colaborare cu Romanian United Fund*, care acopera:
  • sustinerea unei scoli pentru comunitatea locala, care sa includa si cursuri de limba romana;
  • angajarea unui director de programe responsabil de activitatea centrului si coordonarea a cel putin 12 activitati sau evenimente in fiecare an;
  • reamenajarea initiala estimata la aproximativ $120,000
  • bugetul de functionare pentru primul an este de $50,000
• Pentru un centru sustenabil pe termen lung avem nevoie de:
  • 1,000 de sustinatori (x $10 pe familie) = $10,000
  • Aceste fonduri ne vor permite sa platim cel putin un salar full-time sau doua salarii part-time

* bugetul de constructie fusese initial estimat la 50,000 dar intre timp spatiul a fost marit aproape de 2 ori.

Thank you!

Our sincere gratitude for your donation! Thanks to your contribution to the #PlayForGood campaign, children for whom circumstances beyond their control have disrupted their childhood experience will feel the joy of laughter. They will be able to dream, play, sing, make friends, and have a sense of belonging. Studies show that camps help children develop important social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Best of all, children create precious memories.

Your generosity is what gives MagiCamp the resources and support needed to open the doors welcoming a new group of kids this summer to experience the Magic. Thank you for being the magician they need! You truly make a difference.
