Carpentry Workshop in Roma school

The headmaster of the large Roma school in Garcin, near Sacele, Brasov, Romania, asked us to build a workshop so that the children can learn woodworking skills, and so stand a better chance of finding a job and helping their families out of poverty when they leave school. Again we were working with our good friend Daniel Hristea, from the Romanian charity FAST, who is doing so much to help the very poor Roma families and particularly their children.

The school is surrounded by the poor houses of the Roma village at Garcin.
