Carol and her friend Dustin from Oregon (first time out of the country) came to Severin to see a Roma village. As we were going, the director of the my organization (unemployment agency) told us to meet him at a Roma conference. Meeting him there, I unexpectedly had to speak in front of 25 people... in Romanian. In short, I said that being a volunteer I wanted to help the village if I can and from hearing many stories a small medical office (with showers for hygiene) were gravely needed. After the conference, the Roma Representative for Dudas went with us to the Mayor's office to see if I can obtain the land needed, they said consider it resolved. I stated it will be resolved when I get an official letter (with an honest evaluation of the land) stating it will be donated for the medical office. The mayor and Domnul Robert will say that he will get the letter next week. Can only hope, but it is a great start to get the necessary project on its way. Also for the first time it looks like the unemployment agency is truly backing my efforts in helping the Roma community.
