Many of our young people from Burlington visited Project Ruth last October for a week of mission with the school. They had a tremendous time. During my visit this weekend to Bucharest many took the time to tell me how wonderful our group of young people had been: their adaptability with a changing programme, the hands-on way they got on with each task, the way they related well to each other and their hosts and the love and care they showed to the children.

Before a Romanian Project Ruth board meeting, at which I was a guest (I am on the UK board), we had lunch in the Project Ruth School dinning area. It’s immediately below the medical centre. On the wall was this display celebrating the visit of the team from Burlington. Well done guys you did us proud.  More importantly you did yourselves proud and made a real mature and positive contribution.
