Melanie re Hungary/Romania





The team was made up of Willie and Betty Service, along with Michael Carling, from Northern Ireland. Betty and Melanie Price went together on this trip.What fun we had, along with the Irish jokes from Michael, that kept us laughing all week, we just enjoyed one anothers company. Dani and Kati in Nyirbeltek were so happy for us to take them shopping to the supermarket in the nearest town of Nyirbator. We filled 3 shopping trolleys full of food. Our trips are all about bringing happiness and joy, and hope. Music plays a big part in joining in with the locals. We may not know the language, but we can hum along and dance.Christian, was one of our first young men to start to play the keyboard. Hes been in the home for 15 years. Now he is married with 3 little children. He has no job, and no ways at present of getting any money to provide, but still he sings, and plays, what joy.I love children,and I found this little boy crying. He was so forlorn, I just picked him up and cuddled him, giving love is very important, teaching people how to receive love, is a different matter. Betty Price loves giving out gigts to the children. Loofeys, or balloons as we call them, go down a treat. Bettys little bag, never ran out of gifts, it just kept giving, and giving and giving. Teaching the children to receive, is not hard to do.In Dunavarsarvan, Rosza, whose a poor widow, teaches Betty and Melanie how to weave. She weaves rugs, out of old rags, and this raises enough money to buy a little food.What can we do in a week, Well, we made many people happy, learnt a lot of new skills, gave away a lot of money, and gifts. Danced and sung, and united nations.Ireland, England, and Hungary, and Romania.Very Satisfied.......its done...till the next time........
Melanie
