Foster families. Purpose:


    - To help the abandoned children from the orphanages and hospitals;
    - To help the foster families giving them work (to pay for their work and in future we plan to employ the good foster families); and not only this, but to give the possibility to the loving people to help abandoned children; to help our society.
    - To help the orphanages and Children’s hospital, taking the children from the bad conditions, cold, humidity, isolated place, putting them in a warm and with good conditions place, in a family.

Objectives & Methodology:

     To take 30 abandoned children between the age 3-10 and to put them in families from the village, where to grow and be educated till 18 years old. They will learn the life in the village, the work in a house, agriculture etc. so, when they will be 18 and left alone, to be able to live in the society and to not be afraid of / to work.

     The girls will learn to wash, to clean, to cook, to make cakes to lead a house, as any girl from a village is thought.
The boys will learn to work in a farm, with the animals, to work the land (agriculture) so when they will be 18, can live a responsible life and lead a family, (like any) a Romanian family.

     In Livada de Bihor there is a kindergarden with two groups of children (3-5 and 5-7 years old) where the little children will be integrated. The children over 6-7 will attend the Elementary (Primary and Secondary) School till 14 years old (classes I-VIII).

     After that, they will continue to study in the city of Oradea (13 km from Livada de Bihor), everyone choosing for himself the dominion of study which will like and have capacity / ability. The children will be supervised in all these years and helped to orientate themselves to the dominion which is the most perfect for them / for everyone of them.

     After the class of VIII, will be done an evaluation and everyone will continue to study or work in accordance with the results will get. For this reason, they have to be prepared very well so that they can go to any school from Oradea city, and be integrated there. So, they will be prepared at the most high possible level, and depending/ in accordance with the capacity of everyone, even though they will need/ have supplementary preparations, besides the normal preparation at the School from the village.

     Besides that, they will have courses (to learn foreign languages: English, German, French) at the Community Club. So that, after the school, if they will be able and will want, they can go to the university, maybe abroad and maybe to work abroad. In intelligence to be developed. The club will be disponible for them!

     Also, through the computer club, trips and summer camp organized by the Association, they will have the possibility to become friends with the children from Livada de Bihor and also, from other places, so they can be integrated easier in the society they society they need and later will be thought and helped to integrate themselves in the society like any other child which belongs from a normal family.

      All these children will be integrated in the local Pentecostal church, taking part? At the Sunday School (in the church and in the community club too) where they will learn to live a moral life, and a life by faith in GOD, a disciplinated life, equilibrated, with Biblical principles as base for their life, and Christian convictions well based which will lead them in future in the life. Learning to depend on GOD after beginning a personal relationship with GOD, they will be leaded, helped and guided by God more than any parent. The Association, the school, the church and the foster family will be only / just an instrument / way in guiding and growing them, because in fact, they will depend on God who never leaves them alone.

      GOD will be the safe of their life, when they will have to live by themselves in the life, when they will have to live by themselves in the life (when they will have to live a responsible life).

      The foster families will be stimulated to grow this children with E 100 per month for one child (from the income of the programs of the project of Computer club) and later, one other million lei per month for taxes for the employed “mothers” (these money from the income of our business). The government gives 500.000 lei (per month for every child) for foster program and 160.000 lei (now) for every child (this is for every child till 6-7 years old and that only if the child attend a school) until 18 years old.

(
Note: from 6 years old the child can go to a normal school, but if she/he is in the kindergarden is paid till 7 years old when has to start the school, or if she/he has problem (see children in difficulty), the child can remain in the kindergarden till 8 years old and then has to start the school. After 8-9 years old, he cannot begin the normal school. The law is that after 2 years over the normal age of beginning the school, but you can start the school at 6 or at 7 years old, depending on when the parent wants or considers that his child can start the school. So, the 2 years over the normal age of starting the school can be 8 but also, might be accepted at 9 years old too.

      The children from the foster program will get material help from the association, like: cloths, shoes, notebooks and other things foe school, bicycles, etc. they will have free access to the computer club (depending on the program of the club), free courses (foreign languages, musical courses), trips, summer camp, sport / fitness club, etc.

      The foster mothers will be prepared to grow these children, will be supervised, encouraged and helped through consiliation any time when they will need.

HOW will we choose the children?

     - firstly we will take from orphanages,
     - only the abandoned children (it means that the child will have the signature from the mother that she and the family abandons the child,
     - girls and boys,
     - not physical retarded if possible,
     - from the family home of a child will require special attention,
     - also, from the foster program a child might go in the family home in case that a family renounces / stops / cannot keep the child or is a bad family, that child can come in the family home or in one other foster family.

     After 18 years old, the children have 2 possibilities:

    1. to continue to study, and the association will support them till they finish to study, or maybe they can work also, in that time (of the university, here is very usual); or maybe they can work at the association

    2. to work; we will help them to choose and to get a job; or maybe, they can work at the association in a project (club, farm or summer camp) or abroad

Note: The foster families will be paid for their work and they will not have any other facilities. So, they will not get cloths, free access to the club, because if we will give all these facilities to them, then there is the possibility that many other families to want to take children in fostering, but only for the benefits. In this way, we want to select the good and loving families without any other interest. But the money they need, as it is the minimum requirement to live in Romania. (I have the experience from my job FSF: many families hearing about us, uses to come with the purpose to take a child for fostering, but because we do not give them any money, they said that cannot take a child, because even though they want, they cannot grow a child only with the money from the state (500+160.000 lei). Also, the foster families we have now, there are some families which complain already that it is very will bring them back to us and we do not have any place or other families where to bring them, maybe the hospital again or the orphanage?).

Educational work plan for the children, from the Family Home and for the children in foster families


There will be 10 children, who will grow in the Family Home and we intend to give 30 children in foster families, to the families from Livada.

1. Kindergarten

     All these children will attend the State Kindergarten from Livada village, this kindergarten being divided into two groups of children: the small group – between 3-5 years old and the preparatory group, between 5-6 which prepares children for going to school.

2. I-IV classes

     After that all these children will attend the Elementary School (I-IV) in Livada, where if it’s necessary they will take also private hours to use at their maximum intellectual capacities. Because at this age (between 6-10 years), the child is the most responsive, now is the time when he can learn and form any ability (e.g.: sport, foreign language, music, arts, manual training class, etc) we will make all the possible to give them the opportunity to learn what they want.

3. V-VIII classes

     For the gymnasium (V-VIII class) we will choose for these children the best variant of studying. If they are very good, and the intellectual rivalry won’t be so big at Livada school or if they have certain abilities, which requires a special school (of profile we will bring them into a city school (Oradea), adequate to their needs.

     Like this they would be able to develop the discovered abilities and also began in the Elementary School, whatever will be these schools with a profile, specific to their needs, abilities, inclinations and expectations.

     They will be encouraged guided and controlled doesn’t matter what school they will attend.

4. High School

     After this stage it follows that one of choosing a job. After the children will be helped to choose a job, they will attend either a High school or a vocational school according to the job chosen by them.

      Although we were dreaming that all of them would become intelligent, capable, efficient people accomplishing big things in life however this depends only in part of us. That is why a vocational school and a famous High school.
     It they couldn’t do more than a vocational school or wouldn’t want more than this, their decision will be respected.

     Now child will be obliged to do anything against his decision. Those ones who will finish a vocational school learning to practice a job could be encouraged to continue the studies (high school) in another way, like attending and evening school.

     This because in Romania, in this moment gives the situation that the medium level of school preparedness is high school. Those ones who attend less than this, don’t have chances to headway in life and although they aren’t inferior, they will still remain simple workers.

     If our children choose this variant after the graduation of school and reach 18 years, will be helped and encouraged to manage by themselves in life.

5. Professional training

     Those who would want to attend a University after the graduation of high school, they can’t manage by themselves during studies in life student, will continue to be helped in some way, but there will be settled some standards.
E.g.: a scholarship or to work part time beside University, etc.

     Doesn’t matter what University will attend these children after High school, they will have to understand that for any life success, you have to work hard and nothing, none help is free.

     Only like that they will be able to develop a healthy character sans of work and they will have a personal fulfillment.

6. Medical protection

     During the time they will be under our care, both children from the Family Home and those ones in foster families will benefit by medical protection.
     The children in the foster families won’t be close controlled, but rather the foster families will be educated, prepared, counseled so that they will take will take care of these children in a proper way.

     The main control and control and the protection of these children, will still be in the charge of the Association, but more as a guide, and not forcing things.
     All the children under the protection of the Association will be taught to work, because work is first of all the main factor which brings fulfillment and personal content.

     In the same time it prepares the it prepares the human being to manage in the most difficult life situations and helps him to create its own conditions of living.
Precisely for being an example for children also we an Association, we want to get on the point to manage ourselves. I am convinced that through this modality, any child would be able to develop the wish of independence and self-support.
     The medical assistance will be assured to all the children from our project, all these children being registrated to the family doctor from Livada village and employing a medical assistant too, for the Association. Our medical assistant will supervise and will be responsible for the children mentioned.

     The integration in the society of all children in the projects of the Association will be made in different ways.
     The children from Livada in foster families will be taught how to live in a family where they will be accepted and loved, without going through the feeling that is not their natural family.

     For the accomplishing of this goal, the foster families (the maternal assistants) will be guided, counseled, to behave in a proper way with these children.
     The children from the Family Home will be treated the same with the exception that they will grow in a bigger family (larger family).
     The next step for the integration of these children in the society will be the Educational institutions

7. Educational activities

     If all these would not be enough, we will found a computer club, where the children will have the possibility to get friends with the children from the village, in a more free way. Playing together on the computer games or internet, and sharing one to each other personal experiences and discoverers, they will be more attached one to another.

     Also like this, as part of the club there will be done different deeds of handicraft, sport, educational activities (e.g. a computer course, courses of foreign languages, camps, where there will be invited also the children from the village and their relationships the children from the village and their relationship will develop more).

8. Church

     Religious talking, the children will be integrated in the local Church where, as part of the Sunday school they will receive a proper religious education, adequate to the Word of God written in the Bible. Our children will learn the doctrines of the Bible and they will learn to now Lord Jesus Christ they will live a life of overcoming, a pure life, and they will have character of Jesus.

     Only teaching our children to live this way, we shall have victory in this ministry through which we answered to Hiss call.

9. Work

     Another important area for the developing of the children character, the sense of responsibility, of fulfillment and self content and of integration in a simple way, in society is physical work.

     All the children included in the projects of the Association will be taught to work physical at the animals Farm, greenhouse and agriculture which we will found with the purpose of self supporting (self financing) the Association or as part of the families where they will live.

10. The future

    Through all these ways, the children we take care of (40 children totally) will be taught to become people of trust for our country (Romania), so that also they at their turn to be able to help other great people: people of science who will help in this way other people, responsible leaders, who will have the courage to settle the things – the problem of our country.
