In 1989, when a revolution in Romania toppled the Communist regime of Nicolae Ceaucescu, the White Cross Mission
discovered 170 children locked away in a grim institution. Since that time the White Cross has stayed with those
children, improving their conditions and helping them to make their way in the world.
At present the White Cross cares for 33 of these young people in 5 small hillside farms in the locality of Casa
Delureni. It is intended that the restaurant at the Guest House will use the fresh food produced on their farms
and that, on a rota basis, most of the young people will find employment at the Guest House. Some of them will work
in the kitchen or wait tables, others will clean and make beds, chop the wood and keep the grounds tidy. In this way
the young people will always be assured of sheltered employment and any profit made by the Guest House will go towards
paying the wonderful Romanian House Mothers who care for them.
By coming as a guest, you will be helping these young people, who have suffered so much in the past, to live fulfilled
and independent lives.
