Together with Those Who Love Cobani and Its People!

From February 24 to March 2, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of friends and partners from California on a working visit. They had the opportunity to discover the beauty of Cobani and its residents. Together, we participated in a meaningful program filled with various activities, including:

  1. Purchasing, preparing, and distributing food packages for 20 elderly individuals and socially vulnerable families.
  2. Activities at the Children’s Club of AO “Neemia.”
  3. Engaging with the young volunteers of AO “Neemia.”
  4. Distributing hot meals to 30 beneficiaries and visiting elderly residents in the village.
  5. Purchasing and distributing coal to 20 beneficiaries.
  6. Attending a memorable gathering with the ladies of the AO “Neemia” Senior Club.
  7. Organizing a parenting seminar on “Raising and Educating Children.”
  8. Visiting Cobani Gymnasium, attending Sunday service at the village church, and meeting with the mayor of Cobani, Liliana Burlacu, who expressed her gratitude for the involvement and support provided to the community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved and to our wonderful team members: Mark Bucko, Mark & Claudia Lewis, David & Audrey Belgum!
