Last Call for April 25 Do Something Beautiful event

 

The Do Something Beautiful event being held in Princeton, Illinois on Saturday, April 25 is about to happen! We still have spots open for the 10:00 am, 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm sessions. We are hoping that you will join us on this path that God has laid out before us.  We need your personal involvement to provide the hope of a future for these children God has entrusted to our care.  Look down at your feet, are they Beautiful?  We think they are, and more importantly God thinks they are!!  With each and every step forward down this path, together, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus for these children and their families and their community.  By working together, with God as our guide, we can take steps towards helping this Roma community that is hurting and struggling to overcome the hardships of their world.  Together, we can Do Something Beautiful.

 

This FREE event will provide you an opportunity to create a portion of the “Beautiful” mosaic that will be installed on the entire wall at the entrance of the Point of Hope School. This mosaic will serve as a constant reminder to these children that they are Beautiful in the eyes of God in so many ways, and that there are so many people that care so much for them. In addition to the large mosaic you will also be creating your own version of the large mosaic. This project is a beginner level project so EVERYONE can participate. The children at the Point of Hope School will be hosting an Art Fair during the same time as us. So, we are inviting our supporters to learn more about our mission and to join us as we build relationships with the children at Point of Hope by participating in this painting event.

 

 

If you wish to join us please send an email (director@anotherchild.org) letting us know of your desire. Also include which of the 3 sessions you would like to attend.

Meet Raluca Tuli from the Point of Hope!

Raluca Tuli at the Point of Hope

Raluca Tuli was born on May 24, 2010 in Targu Mures.  Her parents are legally married and she has one brother, Raul, who is 8. 

Raluca lives with her parents in a house built by them out of second hand construction materials they found on the site of the old chemical plant or they were able to buy from others. The home has two rooms and a hallway and both rooms are furbished. The mother is employed at a factory that makes electrical parts in a nearby town, while the father tries to find day jobs in construction.  The family’s income consists of the mother’s monthly paycheck of about $232 USD and the child support from the government which amounts up to $24 USD each month.

The parents are involved in Raluca’s education so they make sure that she comes to Point of Hope every day, unless she is sick. 

Raluca is a well behaved and slightly introvert child.  She chooses to play in small groups of 2 or 3.  However she is obedient, receptive and she shows much interest in the class activities.  She colors beautifully.  She enjoys coming to Point of Hope, which is why, based on what her mother said, she is the first one in the family to wake up in the morning, in order to make sure that she is not late for the van to pick her up.  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.

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.
