Johnny was busy helping unload a delivery of bricks and building materials for Erica's building (You can find out more about Erica's story on http://www.rjamesfeaver.co.uk/erica-audio-presentation/ )
I did not take Bubbles on this visit, which meant I had more time to have a look around.
All the red roofs are the new ones provided by Love Light Romania - the Jacodu project aims to better the opportunities for the 64 children in the village by ensuring they are warm and dry in their homes (donated stoves have also been fitted into the buildings)
Toilets have been built
Laundry packs (washing bowls etc) have also been distributed and every month toiletry packs are taken over. The aim is to ensure basic needs are being met and enabling the young people to attend school and get an education.
Some of the children who already attend school get there by bicycle. If they get a puncture and do not have the equiment to repair it, they walk. Love Light Romania are in need of basic items such as puncture repair kits to distribute in this village.
Blankets and hats brought over by Terry, John and Luke were distributed - is unusual for the weather to be so warm mthis time of year - soon the snow will come....
We drove on up to the village to see the house that Love Light Romania have managed to purchase for the Jacodu Kids Club
A few kilometres up the hill from the village, in a peaceful spot with a lovely calm presence to it is 'Nancy's House' (named after the lady who donated the money that enabled Love Light Romania to purchase it
Once the renovations are complete, the aim is to set up a kids club for the children of Jacodu
The barn will be transformed into living accommodation - the money raised from renting this will hopefully be sufficient to fund the project
We had a picnic lunch in the garden - Rich made the tea!
Terry enjoyed drinking it!
It was a long day, on the way back I enjoyed watching the sun set and the moon rise over the Transylvanian countryside.
