Santa's Coming

| Help & Care Association |

The first activity of the volunteers was Santa‘s coming, which dates back long before the formation of the Association. During this action, the volunteers, accompanied by Santa Claus, went (year after year) to the elderly and children, trying to bring them back the joy of the holidays in their souls through carols and gifts.

Besides children from orphanages and foster care centers in Oradea, the beneficiaries of this project were also children from other profile locations in Bihor, such as the orphanage in Popești (about 75 children), kindergartens (Miersig and Subpiatră) and schools.

The aim was to support the efforts of teachers and parents to reduce school dropout at the kindergarten in the village Miersig (about 30 children) and at the kindergarten in the village of Substone. For these children, in addition to the activities aimed at financial actions, there were also actions to collect goods (toys and supplies), under the slogan “give a toy, make a joy”.

The project also reached the home for elderly people from Popeşti where, besides the objective of bringing joy to the soul of the residents, the Association extended its purpose of activities; Therefore, material support was provided for several seniors (social cases, without NHS support) who required interventions to relieve / cure some chronic, invalid locomotor pathologies.
