Team 137 is getting prepared to leave Tutova this Saturday (a few stay a while longer) and we are sad to leave our babies, of course. Many of us would gladly adopt, but since this is no longer a legal option, we can only say good-bye and hope to see them again - perhaps in a home the next time.

We are hoping that future teams post to this blog so that we can see progress being made. I will make another entry or two, either here or at home, and check back every now and then for Team 138....

Enjoy your stay; give them fresh air and sunshine every chance you get (several new strollers added to the inventory this week))! Lots of joy in those sweet faces and hearts.

Welcome to the Shared Blog of Volunteers in Tutova, Romania

This is the first posting on our new blog.  There are 19 people on our team which has enabled some of us to switch off working with the babies and volunteering to speak English with high school students. Presently,  there are 20 children in total living at the Failure to Thrive Clinic but this week Big Andreea and Maiastra are not here as they have gone for testing.  During the next two weeks, we hope to share with you updates on each of the kids and to upload photos.  Please be patient, it might take us some time.
