Hello! We are sending you warm greetings, as well as all our gratitude.

We love you and we pray for you. We pray for world peace.

Ah, those beautiful eyes, full of hope! Just some of our work.

Simply that. August 14, 2023.

The child with the most astonishing eyes has joined HOCT and he has received the first fruit of your kindness. Thank you for helping him! At his turn, he is also helping HOCT.

Just beauty and kindness.

Beautiful progress! Faith in humanity… reconfirmed.

I took the last week off (in a manner of speaking!) and went to our local seaside to relax a bit. This means, I no longer to two jobs per day, but only one – the work I do for the children. There is no way this can ever stop, because if I don’t work, the children will not eat, and I cannot endure that.

So… a picture with my sea…

…followed by the work we accomplished today. HOCT is my life; I cannot be without it.

With love,

Veronica ANGHELESCU

The school construction is progressing slowly. I have a new video each day. I can’t believe how beautiful it gets, how sturdy and how high – and I can’t wait to see children play in the yard and sitting inside for studies.

I really feel I’ve done something with my life.

Look at this splendid work in progress!

[Warning: pictures with physical malformations]

This little boy, Alunat (3 years old) was born with severe malformations of hands and feet – a genetic disorder. I will learn more about it, but it looks like his dear mother has them too. The mother’s name is Sofia and she is just 23 years old. Do you see how defeated she looks?

She loves her little boy – no matter how he is. She tried her best to bring him up and keep him healthy and clean – please notice he is not sloppy, and neither is she. She is struggling – because she was abandoned, and because no one would even employ someone with such a disability – let alone one who carries a disabled child everywhere.

I want us to help this little lady and her boy Alunat together, to make them feel they are not alone in this world. I will post progress in the days to come.
