Greetings from Tulcea, Romania!  Are you looking for a special giving opportunity this Christmas season? Would you like to see your Christmas gift put to really good use? Here is a way to make that happen!  We are having an incredible experience here and look forward to sharing it with you over the next couple of months.

• One of the programs which is offered at Speranta, the largest orphanage here in Tulcea (more than 50 children) is a sewing class.  Both boys and girls are learning to sew under the watchful eye of Doamna Ana, one of our Big-hearted Friends. Only one of the current machines is working and is quite old. We would like to raise about $600 in order to purchase 3 new electric sewing machines and supplies.
• We also want to raise about $325.00 for 10 large print Bibles for the kids to have access to at Casa Noastra, especially for use at the Thursday evening Bible study. The cost is $32.50/ Bible.

Monetary donations can be sent to NOROC, 200 Hedges Rd. Abilene, TX  79605, earmarked for sewing machines or bibles. Any and all donations will be gratefully accepted! Thank you for considering this request!

Please invite us to speak at your congregation and to share some of our experiences over the past three months.  Carol & Rich
