We are so grateful to our translators whom we have formed strong bounds with during our time in Romania. We asked them to write a short reflection of their experiences working with us and the children. Ligia, a medical student, has sent us the following message:
Reflection on the time spent at Princhindelul, last week:
For me, the week that passed has been a great experience. I am trully thankful to God for you guys, and for the children and the ladies that take care of them (at least some of them), for Debbie and the other translators and all the blessings that God poured over me last week. I am really happy that I had, first of all the oportunity to meet those children at Prichindelul. (I've only been there once before- at Christmas - we sang some carols, we only stayed for about 10 minutes and I had the chance to see some of the kids in the second module but I didn't get to know them). Spending this week with the children in the first module and the babies, getting to know them, has done something in my heart that makes me want to go back there. The children are soo sweet, some of them are so optimistic, happy, perseverent, ready to work hard without complaining and without giving up. We have things to learn from them. It makes me think of the words apostle Paul wrote in 1st Corinthians 1:27, 28. I didn't know much about ocupational therapy and fiziotherapy before and I am thankful that I could learn some things from you. I'm glad I had the oportunity to meet you and spend time with you this week. I think what you guys did with the children had an impact on the ladies and the director, and the children and on us. I hope the partnership with Princhindelul will continue with students from Sibiu, I hope you will come back to Romania. May God bless you in everything that you do!
