Dude it a very remote village in the County of Arad. After detouring from Mocrea along some really bumpy roads with horses and carts on route we finally arrived. It was great to see Lena again but she is still having trouble with her leg - following a break last year it was not set properly. She was sad today and mentioned that a lady from the village died last night leaving a 1 year old child. However, she was really thrilled to see me and asked about my husband. We dropped off her monthly food parcels and medicine together with her Christmas Box, a pair of slippers and a blanket.

Then it was over to visit George opposite end of the village who had his neighbour round - he was also called George - was 71 and is suffering with a hernia. After making further enquiries we established he had no family to support him and so we took his details with a view to including him on the programme. Conditions at George's house are very poor and I have suffered several bites since leaving. He also has no lights due an electrical fault.Please pray for George and Lena - their lives are so hard.
They all loved their Christmas presents and were grateful for their food baskets and winter wood. Thank you to everyone back home who supports this project in any way either through fund raising events, regular funding or donations and to all who supplied slippers, blankets and items to fill shoe boxes. I also purchased chocolate bars and biscuits as an extra treat for them for Christmas.
It costs so much to run this project and Pastor Jackie is desperately in need
of extra funds. If you feel on your heart to help then please
contact me.
