The morning session at the basketball court had less young people than usual, but it was still a rewarding time of activity and interaction.

Brad with Andrea Ionescu, who just passed her high school exams.  Andrea is a good basketball player, and can hold her own with the "big boys".
For lunch the team had an invitation to the home of Rodic Aradoaei and her family.  The team ate like kings, feasting on Rodica's sampling of traditional Romanian dishes.  As with every instance in this wonderful country, the team was treated as members of the family.

After the lunch their was a special suprise for the team as they visited a foundation called Reusim Impreuna.  This small, but wonderful organization gives an opportunity for street kids to get a new lease on life.  Using God's love, education and training, leaders Natalia and Tony show Christ's love while helping kids who have fallen through the cracks.  If you would like to contact the foundation, you can e-mail them at reusimimpreuna@pcnet.ro


Natalia talks with a new boy who had just been taken off the street to move into the foundation house.


Tony makes hand carved items to sell as a fund raiser for the foundation.  Here he displays the only tool he uses to carve alongside a spoon he made.
