Romania Volunteer Testimonials
"I'm acutely aware that my life burdens are of little consequence compared to those of the children we served, who bear them with a nobility that I can only admire."~ Bernard Cahill, Romania volunteer
"Coca, the aide I worked with, was amazing! I really felt I connected with her, and a few of the other nurses. I learned so much, but mostly how different the medical system is from ours at home. I'm humbled by what they can do with so little. It's clear they care for the children very much...they are Romania's future!"
~ Kelcie Grace Collins, Romania volunteer and nursing student
"Thank you again, it's just an honor to work with Global Volunteers, and I'm looking forward to my next trip, which I am sure will be soon! Everything was just so wonderful and good on my last trip, I can't imagine letting a year go by without trying to get back! Many thanks again to all the Global Volunteers folks! My involvement with Global Volunteers has truly been one of the most fulfilling, rewarding and happy experiences of my life."
~ Jeanne De Vita, IA
"Testimony to the human spirit, I now realize that it is far from too late to make a difference. Never underestimate the power of a dry crib and five minutes of love."
~ Sue Surma, MN
"The opportunity to serve at the hospital is such a unique opportunity. The children there are all so precious and we had a very rewarding time getting to know new children and seeing some familiar faces from Tutova, and helping the staff to care for all of them. It again this year was a very worthwhile experience.Thanks to all of you for all that you do. Keep up the good work!"
~ Steve Wenzel, PA - 13-time Romania volunteer
"How blessed we are to be here in Romania, to be giving our time, talent, and treasure to teach eager students and to hold needy babies."
~ Rosemary Udell, TX
"The daily changes being seen in the infants and the eagerness of the high school students to join our lessons at school are lights that will shine the rest of our lives. Mihaela shared with me the tale of the twins who insist on studying English in their afternoons instead of heading to the basketball court, in order to be better able to communicate with their new-found friends."
