Meet Madalina from the Point of Hope Center

Madalina is one of the younger children at the
Point of Hope Development Center

Madalina Radulescu was born on December 19, 2010 in Tarnaveni.  Her parents are legally married and she has an older brother, Gabriel (10). The family lives in a two room house granted to them by the local authorities, and they pay a monthly rent for it.  The rooms are furbished and they have electricity and gas, but no indoor plumbing. They get their water from a nearby well.  The parents are unemployed; they try to find seasonal work mostly in agriculture.  The family’s regular monthly income consists of a little over 24 USD which is basically child support from the government.

 

Madalina comes to Point of Hope every day, unless she is ill.  Even if her parents leave early in the morning to go to work, her uncle gets her ready for the day and makes sure that she comes to Point of Hope.  She loves to play and to talk, and she always wants to be the ‘boss’ when she plays with a group.  She has a hard time focusing during class activities and she is a little impatient.  She does enjoy story time very much and she is very good at complying when she is given a special/individual task.  She was able to adjust to preschool very fast and she loves it.  This is her first year at Point of Hope.

The sponsorship of a child through Another Child Foundation is surprisingly simple, and the effects your sponsorship will have on a child is dramatic. Supporting an at-risk child in one of our 2 programs enables our staff members to not only provide for their educational & physical needs, but will provide HOPE for the child as the staff mentors the child. By providing the LOVE of God to the child, the child’s self-esteem will soar as they develop into the person God has created them to be. Without the assistance of generous people these children will continue to live in the “darkness” they we born into. To learn more about Child Sponsorship CLICK HERE.
