Esti Spectator? ia aRtitude!

Family and friends! I have not written in a while and its been a reflection on my work at the foundation has picked up considerable and I have been traveling.

Two weeks ago I went to the Black Sea! It was beautiful- less salty and less surf compared to the Atlantic, but still wonderful. A National Impact theater forum on issue of discrimination was held there. We spent the weekend at the conference plus took a few days off to enjoy the beach. IMPACT youth from around Romania attended. During the conference we were known (4 American volunteers plus Diane a Romanian and director of the Foundation) as club Mother Goose. (Mother Goose is our nickname for Diane because she is always worrying about us and mothering us.) We even got diplomas in the end to prove it, marking our participation in the launching of Esti Spectator? Take aRtitude! (Are you a spectator? Take an aRtitude)- a national campaign lead by IMPACT in partnership with other NGO and the mass media to raise awareness on issue of discrimination in Romania.
