Anniversary of the "Point-Coeur" in Deva

Saturday we went to the 15th Anniversary of the "Point-Coeur" or Heart's home in Romania. They are a Catholic lay movement based on prayer and compassionate presence working with children in difficulty. Most recently the team included an Argentinian who is consecrated, two French girls and an American.

Here they work with many of the gypsy children who in many cases live in poverty. Cristian played an active role in brining the organisation to Deva. I have been blessed to have stayed with them on different occasions! For the celebration they had quite a spread of food including Sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls). They also had live entertainment feature students from the art school. This video is of one of the performances. Please excuse the poor quality, it was best I could do with the camera I had on hand.
