“Familia AMURTEL” Centru de plasament alternativ
Beneficiaries: 19 children and young people from the child protection system.
AMURTEL Romania arrived in 1992, and after witnessing the neglect and inhumane conditions of children abandoned in the state Communist children’s homes, decided to open a small family style children’s home in the peaceful rural mountain village of Panatau. The first child arrived in 1995, and since then, “Familia AMURTEL” has been home to 22 children. Currently 13 young people are still living in the house, while several others which are transitioning into autonomous adult life through AMURTEL’s “Vistara Social Integration Project”. From the beginning, Gopi Cornelia Fischer, the director of the house, known affectionately as “Mami” by the children, gave importance to creative expression as a way to heal.
All of the children of the house are regularly involved in annual theater productions and other performances, so that each one has the opportunity to discover a special talent, and shine on the stage in front of their friends, teachers, and sponsors. The young people also have opportunities to travel abroad to visit sponsors and participate in summer adventure camping trips.
Donors: Pănătău Kinderheim Verein (Switzerland), AMURT Italy, private sponsors
