American Traditions in RO

In America celebrating every "holiday" is a big deal. Decorations come out sometimes months before. Halloween is not a holiday that is widely celebrated in Romania. As we went about our week, it was like any other week. We had language lessons, went to the baby hospital and our Bible studies. It was good to be back at the baby hospital this week. The babies are becoming more expressive and interactive. It is exciting to see them develop. The changes are partly because they are growing, but the time spent by us and other volunteer who interact with them, is a big help to their development.
Saturday after our language lessons we headed to the team house to pick out our costumes for our Halloween party we were having with the Transition House Girls. There are four girls currently in the program. Two are from an orphanage, the other two come from broken families and needed the extra training and help to be able to find employment. H2H staff went all out in preparation for the party. We played fun games and enjoyed the night.
