NEW YEAR’S EVE 2007

At the end of this year we decided to make another surprise to the people that we have been visiting for more then a year now, to those who became our friends. Knowing that they were so charmed by the photos that we gave them last Christmas we thought of another surprise that they would surely love : a calendar on 2008 where the main characters are each of them including our dogs, Dolly, Mica and Kiki, who filled their heart with happiness and joy during the year that has just passed.

Besides those calendars we also brought them some small prestents for some of them, finidng out before what they would need.

The photos were taken in different periods of the year,illustrating wonderful moments spent together, events that would otherwise be lost and forgotten.Now they can just take a look on the wall and see their roommate or a friend who’s living other place in this Center.We put together the calendars on the walls from almost each room, and afterwards they opened very anxious the presents in Dolly’s company.

There was also a sad moment when everyone asked about Kiki who, unfortunately wasn’t with us anymore, because he died at the end of this year. He loved to come here, to run on his three-legs in the garden and make people’s laugh,to jump in people’s beds, to be kisses or to receive some left over from the last meal. Now remained only Dolly and Mica. He will always remain in our hearts, for his joy and the happiness that he was spreading all around!

CHRISTMAS 2006

Christmas is indeed a special day for all of us that it is meant to be spent in the family with all the people that we care about and love. Unfortunately, the majority of the people from the Center have no one to be close to them in such a day, nothing that makes them feel the holly spirit. Santa Claus means not only to make gifts to our friends, families and to the one that we love but also to bring joy and happiness to those who who live in Centers like this. Many of them don’t need material things as this are provided by the centers’ staff, but only to have someone around, someone to talk to and to share this days.

We started to manufacture all the 100 box gifts, decorated with color paper and we make photos with our dogs to each person, since November 2006; The present boxes, besides photos, were filled with sweets, fruits, some food, juice – donated by to wonderful people Mr. Carmen Lemnaru and Mr. Liviu Chitiba, – but also other small individual presents.

RO ANIMALS Association ,tried in December 2006 to offer from souls to souls an unforgotten Christmas. Together with our four-legged lovely friends,Dolly, Kiki and Mica, we prepared a nice surprise for the people from the Suseni Center.

Early in the morning of 24th of December we arrived at the Center,with a van full of three Christmas trees, floral arrangements, Christmas decoration and 100 gift box. And, with our little four-legged friends dressed with Sants’ clothes.

First,we decorated all rooms, visiting also each people, and then we started to decorate the Christmas trees in three different places. Almost every one took part at this action, more less the persons with severe disabilities.

After we finished decorating the trees we were expecting the Santa Clause’s arriving, as the Santa Clause’s elfs, in our case the dogs, were already tired of such a busy day; It was evening already and after a short time when we looked around the trees we saw the presents….waiting to be gifted.

We gathered all together around the trees and started to give the gifts to each of the people present there.They were just happy of surprised about everything including about what they found in the box.

They loved so much seeing themselves in the photos, so happy and keep the photos beside their bed showing it to any person who come to visit.

Even the staff recognized that no one ever made some such a pleasant surprise and were so charmed about the entire day.

We left the Center late evening in the Christmas Eve with a pleasant feeling that we made a change, because of us some of this people felt the happiness of Christmas day ,for the first time in the last years. When every person spends this time together with their families, we choosed to gave a hope for a better life to the people from Suseni, Gorj county.
