ARC Projects


This year ARC resources will be focused on four major projects:

The Kids in Romania project in Cold Valley Roma Village, is situated on the outskirts of Tirgu Mures in Transylvania. We sponsor work with the children all the year round. Our ongoing work includes:
- buying medicines for sick children
- helping with hospital stays and visits
- providing clothes (we clothed over 350 children last year)
- repairing and re-roofing houses (winters get down to below -20°c)
- feeding children who might otherwise go hungry
- providing presents for Christmas and National Children's Day

Children's Summer Camps are organised every year by ARC volunteers. With generous help from local villagers, we run three camps for around 150 children. Every child is given two changes of clothes, and assorted toiletries and toys. But, most important, the camps are great fun, and give children magical moments in their otherwise desperate lives.

Sighisoara Paediatric Hospital in Transylvania has poor facilities and scant resources, and a very limited supply of medicines. The babies have no nappies, and sometimes they are short of food. ARC will be providing funds to alleviate some of these problems.
