Thank you,

for the greetings, for my birthday!

Visit to Mina today

Did the shopping of food for the team from Metro and Plus, delivered all the shopping to Mina 1 Mai.
Discussions with the head nurse and with the school caretaker.
The flat is going to look nicer as it is now being decorated by John. He said that tomorrow it will be finished. See the ceiling especially.
Another thing: it is possible that the Dutch people will finance the roof of the flat.
Vanessa asked me to put some water freezing. My question is are you sure for freezing? Or rather to be heated up? today so far we had 18 C and raining!
All the NNRT boxes are now in the flat.
Than I was in Vulcan and checked the accommodation at Manitiu's.

Arrived home safely from Bulgaria

It was OK, but the weather could have been better. We had a chance to visit besides Albena, the Golden Sands, Chaika, St. Constantine and Helen, and of course, Varna. We have been at the same place like last year, and the children loved the swimming pools. Some photos here above.

1st of July

Brings us bad news:
1. VAT raised from 19% to 24% in Romania
2. Paycuts up to 25% in several state owned companies and...
3. Big flooding in the Moldova region, Eastern part of Romania, after too many heavy raining.

Tomorrow early morning

We are going to the seaside in Albena for 6 days. Hope that the weather will get better.

Lorry arrived

The aid load has arrived Thursday and was unloaded into the head nurse's storage in dry place. All boxes are there and on Monday 12 July the team can go and collect them from the storage. Unfortunately the lorry driver did not called me, so the hospital staff did the unloading of the boxes.

Several phone calls

Today I have

1. Called the first roof contractor and asked for written document ready tomorrow
2. Called the second roof contractor and asked the same
3. Called Garofita and asked the phone number of the school director
4. Called the school director and obtained her permission for summer accommodation at school as usual
5. Called Dr. Grigoriu but no reply
6. Called Dr. Iordache, and got informed that Dr. Grigoriu is in Germany till next week. I will call him next week than. I took the opportunity and informed dr. Iordache about your summer visit, the planned work for roof drying and for collecting money for the roof. She also said that she will try to get another contractor for the roof. She knows now about your summer trip. Regarding financing the roof from the hospital she said that this is almost non possible as she tried to get a metal cabinet for her folders in her office and that was denied too as lack of funds.
7. Called the hospital in Vulcan, but head nurse is in holiday this week.
