Peggy is collecting art supplies for Casa Gavroche, a shelter for at-risk children and children living on the streets in Chisinau.
One of our friends in Moldova, Beatrice, volunteered at Casa Gavroche as a part of Wave Week (http://www.sparkthewave.org/moldova/overview.php).
Peggy skyped with her to find out more about volunteer opportunities. It turns out our friend Beatrice did face painting and origami with the kids. I am not sure that Peggy and I are that talented, but we are looking forward to having fun with the children just the same.
Here is more information about Casa Gavroche in Chisinau, Moldova:
“The Center for Social
Rehabilitation of Children “Casa Gavroche” is a shelter for children living and
working on the streets and other categories of children at risk from Chisinau.
“Casa Gavroche” was created by the Municipal Department for the Protection of
Children’s Rights and the Association for the Re-socialization of Street
Children, within a project financially supported by UNICEF Moldova, Social
Investment Fund in Moldova and Chisinau City Administration. The creation of
the Center “Casa Gavroche” was imposed by the need of diversifying the range of
services provided to children in difficult circumstances and their families.”
