Diary
2 Thursday December 8th
The
morning was busy with trying to fit in as much as we could before Jonathan and
Selena left with the truck to get back to St Malo. We
distributed shoeboxes in 3 kindergartens – the tiny one at Ateas
with only a dozen children (that is on the way to nowhere unless you are going
over the fields illegally to get into Hungary. Then the much bigger one at Sanicholau (may not be spelt correctly) and then to Rojt (I had thought it was RIOT but is not pronounced Royt). These villages are on the “back way” to Oradea. I
had never been to Rojt before – it is small but
larger than it appears on the road.
We
finished by going to our own Mustard Seed Romania kindergarten then to visit a
poor family on our programme – conditions there have improved thanks to the
ongoing input through a sponsor’s money month by month. The oldest child is
dying so many problems.
Then
after lunch Jonathan and Selena left – hope to make it to Hungary in good time
for when the Austrian driving restriction ends for HGV (Feast of Immaculate
Conception I believe) they are ready. They plan to be on the evening boat from
St Malo on Saturday.
I
took Flori to Salonta for
an hour or two. The rest of the day was very quiet resting.
I
have heard Marta and the team from Beaulieu Convent School arrived in Budapest
and eventually met with Victor at the large airport. (They travel to Romania in
the morning)
